Courses
FANR 2200: International Conservation, (Fall Yearly)
WILD 5200: Wildlife Conservation in South Africa, WILD 5200-7200, International Issues in Conservation is a 6 credit course targeted at upper division science students. Although it is administered through the University of Georgia, students from all universities are welcome (UGA charges all students in-state fees even if they are from different universities and different states). This course requires students to live in a bush camp for 28 days in northeastern South Africa. Each day will require extensive hiking and 4x4 travel in the bush along with classroom activities. Students have one day off to travel to a local site during the program. There is an expectation that the students have had courses in biology, basic ecology, plant identification and others. http://gamebird.forestry.uga.edu/africa (Summer Yearly, Study Abroad)
