Cheetah Conservation Biology Course, Namibia (June – July 2011)
I will soon be attending an international training course on Cheetah Conservation Biology, hosted by Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) at its Research and Education Centre near Otjiwarongo, Namibia. Sponsored by the Howard G. Buffett Foundation’s African Cheetah Initiative, the workshop will focus on human-cheetah conflict and address the needs identified in the regional plans regarding research and applied conservation. It is envisaged that participation in this workshop will complement university training and benefit my professional development in the field of wild cat conservation. Additionally, the CCF site has a great diversity and abundance of wildlife, so hopefully will present opportunities to photograph cheetahs, oryx and zebra, among other species.
You are going to have a blast. I spent summer of 2007 @ CCF as a student intern. Enjoy every moment of it.
Thanks! It’s great to be here at CCF and part of this international training course! Adios.
