African Ecology & Conservation
The Fisheries, Wildlife & Conservation Biology program in conjunction with the Study Abroad Office at North Carolina State University offers a 3 week study abroad program to Namibia (south western Africa) from May 13 to June 01, 2012. Namibia is one of Africa’s most stable and safest countries to travel to with a good infrastructure and a well-developed tourism industry. This is a unique opportunity for students to explore and experience Africa while studying and gaining valuable knowledge about African wildlife-, savanna- and desert ecology, park management, conservation, ecotourism and ecological sampling techniques. Students will explore various ecosystems, conduct field work, participate in discussions and field lectures, track desert elephants, enjoy game drives and bushwalks. The highlights of this trip are a stay at a wildlife center, the Namib Desert, Damaraland, and the Etosha National Park. The program will be directed by Dr Dörgeloh, a wildlife ecologist with extensive knowledge and many years experience in southern Africa. The program is also open to out-of-state and international students. Online applications are available through the NCSU Study Abroad Office at http://studyabroad.ncsu.edu For further information about the program please visit http://cnr.ncsu.edu/fer/fishwild/fwstudab.html or contact the program director. Please note that there are a limited number of seats available (max 15). The deadline for applications is Dec. 09, 2011.
