Dr. Mark Brown is a conservation biology research associate at the School of Life Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal. He has an active research profile covering a range of topics, but focusing mostly on marine sciences, ornithology, and anthropogenic impact research.
Together with his colleague Elton du Plooy, they have put together some exciting short-term fieldwork opportunities for International undergraduate and recent graduate students to gain valuable field experience in the conservation field in the Western Cape region of South Africa and around Kruger National Park. These opportunities are based on their combined experience working in research and conservation, and their passion for providing experiential opportunities for early career researchers to gain hands-on practical experience and to better understand the range of career opportunities available in the conservation arena. Building on the success of their sister company, Live4Now, with a track record of veterinary science excursions for visiting students of over a decade, Discover Eden is well placed to see your students’ expectations fulfilled. Their courses in 2022 have gone exceptionally well, with students from several universities in the States, Europe and Australia participating and giving good feedback to us.
They would love to provide these opportunities to students. They offer a two-week marine biology field course, a three-week ecology course and a three-week Big 5 experience. For more information about who they are and what they do, please see the PDF’s below, or visit https://discovereden.co.za.
