Explore and contribute to conservation research
What can biodiversity research reveal about ecosystem health? How do species interact with their environment, and what role does climate change play in shaping their future? What methods can you use to track and document wildlife in the field?
At AMES, you will take part in hands-on research activities, whether tracking nocturnal animals during a biodiversity night drive, conducting fieldwork with iNaturalist, or participating in a frogging excursions to locate and document amphibians. Through guided discussions, you will explore topics like behavioral ecology, reproductive strategies, and the impact of climate change on ecosystems.
You will gain practical research skills, from identifying key species to understanding conservation challenges in the Waterberg and mountain biomes. Whether collecting data in the field or analyzing ecological patterns, these experiences will give you the tools to make a real impact in wildlife conservation.
