TRAVEL LECTURES 


The Department of Forestry is starting this year's series of travel lectures. The season will open with a lecture by Nik Šabeder on Wednesday, 5 November at 16:00 in Lecture Room G6, on Work, Adventures and Experiences of Exploration in Namibia. We will manoeuvre through travelogue, experience and adventure between the daily fieldwork of leopard research, the special experience of fitting cheetahs with GPS collars, nightly censuses of lions, spotted hyenas and jackals, and how sampling in the world's oldest desert took place during centuries of torrential rains and floods.


Nik Shabeder is a research assistant in the Department of Forestry, in the process of completing his PhD on leopard ecology in Namibia. As part of his work as a young researcher, he has carried out four expeditions to this most arid country in sub-Saharan Africa in recent years. We can therefore look forward to a very interesting and informative lecture.


You are cordially invited!
