Lajuma Research Centre in the Soutpansberg Mountains, South Africa, hosts overlapping populations of the thick-tailed greater galago ( Otolemur crassicaudatus ) and the southern lesser galago ( Galago moholi ). The Bushbaby Project consists of a dataset spanning over 10 years on these species, focusing on their ecology, behaviour, and interactions. Internship Overview  Interns contribute to ongoing behavioural and ecological monitoring of two galago species, supporting a long-term research programme and gaining practical field experience in primate ecology. Key Activities: Collecting data on food availability (insects, fruits, leaves, tree gum) Recording behaviour Reviewing camera trap data to identify individuals Supporting demographic and ecological monitoring of known populations Fieldwork Requirements All fieldwork is carried out on foot, often over uneven terrain and in variable weather. Students should be...

Bushveld Biodiversity Research Centre (BBRC) is based in a reserve that supports an exciting diversity of birdlife, including iconic and sought-after species such as the African Fish Eagle, European Bee-eater, Little Bee-eater, Martial Eagle, Saddle-billed Stork, Woolly-necked Stork, African Spoonbill, and African Openbill. You may also encounter species linked to the reserve’s natural water systems, such as Little Grebes and Lesser Moorhens, making it especially valuable for waterbird research. Set within a classic savannah bushveld landscape, the area features diverse vegetation zones and natural pans that attract a wide range of bird species. These habitats provide excellent opportunities to study how birds utilise different environments—from open grasslands to water-rich areas. Project Overview This project focuses on monitoring the diversity of bird species across different habitat types on the reserve. By conducting regular bird surveys and recording species...
