*Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) Africa Section Communications/E-mentoring Program * *Call for Applications* Building capacity in conservation science through improving research scholarship and proficiency in disseminating scientific results requires more than the status quo that obtains in the African continent. What African researchers and students need is to tap into the flourishing virtual interconnectivity of this dispensation. Whereever they are in the continent, African students can reach out to would be mentors and in the process leapfrog local and regional challenges. There are virtually no boundaries in today's world whether national or continental. What we have are fluid and extremely fast bridges of communication and information. It is this strategic opportunity that the Africa Section of the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) is working to maximize through its creation of the communications/e-mentoring program. A successful pilot of the program occurred from August 2007- March 2008 and its goal is to increase the capacity of African student conservation biologists to publish and disseminate their research in international peer review journals. This is a call for applicants who want to participate in the 2014/2015 phase of the SCB Africa Section Communications/E-mentoring Program. For more information and requirements for would be mentors and mentees see the attached or e-mail Mary Molokwu ([email protected]) or Stephen Awoyemi ([email protected]). Deadline for receiving applications is September 15, 2014.
