About us
Who we are
The Primate and Predator Project based within the Limpopo Province, South Africa is playing a critical role in the research and conservation of local wildlife. We are looking for hands-on and passionate research assistants to join our team and help support our critical research into human-wildlife conflict. The project provides a fantastic opportunity to gain exposure to behavioural ecology and camera trapping, working with a range of experience professionals. You will be working with primates whilst developing a range of research skills, which is a perfect stepping stone for your future career in conservation.
Our project investigates the scale and nature of human-wildlife conflict and crop raiding on commercial farms in the area, as well as assessing local perceptions and tolerance towards wildlife ‘pests’. We are currently testing strategies for mitigating wildlife conflict, which plays a critical role in preserving local biodiversity.
