ZSL Mongolia Summer Field Course 2011 The Zoological Society of London's Mongolia-based Steppe Forward Programme (SFP) is looking for students to join Mongolian biology undergraduates on their 2011 field course.
The field course will be held in Mongolias unique rolling steppe grasslands, in the vicinity of Hustai National Park famous for its Przewalskis horse re-introduction program. The dates for the course are still to be finalized, but will be in August 2011 for approximately two weeks. The field course will be taught by conservation practitioners and researchers from the Zoological Society of London, with input from faculty staff of the National University of Mongolia and park rangers. This course will provide an amazing opportunity to learn more about Mongolian biodiversity and conservation issues, as well as ecological fieldwork skills and tools, alongside local researchers and students through a series of classes and labs. Students will experience the traditional Mongolian nomadic lifestyle - camping in tents and eating Mongolian food, with meat purchased from local herders.
