How about venturing out to the Mongolian Steppe?
ZSL’s summer field course in conservation biology
The Zoological Society of London
is inviting students to join Mongolian
students on our 2015 summer field
course.
Getting Started
The field course will be held in Mongolia’s unique rolling steppe grasslands which
are home to Mongolian gazelle, Przewalski's horse, grey wolf, lynx and a stunning
array of raptors.
The course will be taught by conservation practitioners from the Zoological Society
of London, with input from lecturers from the National University of Mongolia. The
course provides training in ecological field techniques whilst providing a unique
opportunity to learn about Mongolian biodiversity and conservation issues.
The course will include training in small mammal trapping, camera trapping, distance sampling, and other field survey techniques. Students will experience the
traditional Mongolian nomadic lifestyle - camping and attending lectures in ger
tents, and eating traditional Mongolian food. Preliminary dates for the course are
7th—20th August.
The cost of the course is £1200, and includes all tuition and travel costs within
Mongolia, accommodation and food in the field, and a hostel stay in Ulaanbaatar.
