Dear Student/Colleague The Fisheries & Wildlife Sciences program at North Carolina State University offers a three week study abroad program to Namibia (south western Africa) from May 17 to June 05, 2009. Namibia is one of Africas most stable and safe countries to travel to with a good infrastructure and a well developed tourism industry. This program focuses on ecology (African wildlife, savanna and desert), park management, conservation and ecotourism with the Namib Desert, Etosha National Park and the Cheetah Conservation Fund as the highlights. Students will visit various ecosystems, conduct field work, participate in discussions and field lectures, enjoy game drives and bushwalks. This is a unique opportunity for students to explore and experience Africa and gain valuable knowledge about its ecology, wildlife and conservation. The program will be directed by Dr Dörgeloh, a wildlife ecologist with extensive knowledge and many years experience in southern Africa. While this is a NC State University program, students from non-NCSU colleges and universities are encouraged to apply.
