Fieldwork in South Africa

3/2/2014

Teegan heads off to the North West Province of South Africa for her first field season at Mankwe Wildlife Reserve. She will be looking at how fire influences animal communities in savanna ecosystems. November through March is the wet season with temperatures in the upper 20s, conditions perfect for growing the long grasses preferred by the rhino, zebra, eland and many species of smaller antelope. Furthermore, with close to 360 migrant and resident bird species nesting in the region, understanding how fire influences species habitat choice will provide important information for conservation management. More information can be found here. Best of luck!
