SLU's research school ECOS (Ecology and Society) and the Nsasani Trust in South Africa, in collaboration with Nelson Mandela University, are offering the PhD course "Global Perspectives on Adaptive Wildlife Management". In 2019, this exciting course received an award for best PhD course at SLU's faculty of forest science. Here you can get an impression of the 2019 course: http://blogg.slu.se/adaptive-wildlife-management/.
The course brings together European and African students to jointly analyze and contrast global wildlife management, and general conservation challenges using the adaptive management framework. The course is highly interdisciplinary, integrating fields such as political science and ecology, and students will be interacting with a diverse group of European and South African scientists, conservation managers and local NGOs. A major aim of the course is to lift the African conservation and natural science perspective and contribute to a more balanced south-north relation. The core part of the course is a 16-day field trip at Nsasani's Science Leadership campus in Kruger National Park, South Africa (www.nsasani.co.za/our-facility).
Application deadline is 15 September 2020. Each prospective student shall present a brief CV and a motivation of no more than 200 words, outlining how this course will benefit their studies. Make sure not to miss this deadline because the number of student spots in this course is limited. Please note there is no course fee, but students will need to cover travel costs and we ask for a contribution to accommodation costs.
