ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON / STEPPE FORWARD: Conservation Programmes

by Miss Michelle Swallow

ZSL and Steppe Forward (NGO) are looking for international students to join Mongolian biology undergraduates on their 2013 field course.

The course will be held in Mongolia’s unique rolling steppe grasslands which are home to an impressive array of wildlife including Mongolian Gazelle, Grey Wolf, Lynx and raptors.

The field course will be taught by conservation practitioners and researchers from the Zoological Society of London, with input from lecturers from the National University of Mongolia and park rangers. The course provides an amazing opportunity to learn about Mongolian biodiversity and conservation issues while providing excellent tuition in ecological field techniques alongside local researchers delivering a series of lectures and practical sessions.Mongolia

Students will experience the traditional Mongolian nomadic lifestyle - camping in tents and eating Mongolian food.
