Tanzania conservation Resource Centre works tirelessly to help researchers and students to achieve their goals for research and studies. To promote their work I have dedicated a map over Tanzanian protected areas to them. I am hoping this will contribute to giving CRC their well deserved focus in the year to come. Download the map for free and enjoy.

Update 13 Nov - The Conference has had to be postponed until 2011.
The aim for this workshop is to teach skills, more in the format of a short course than the usual workshops. Attendees will be tested along the way to assess progress, and to give feedback for improving teaching methods. We will investigate making this a bi-annual workshop providing focused training in skills important and necessary for conservation and science. |
