Hyena Research at Lake Eyasi, Tanzania

Join a field-based research initiative focused on addressing human–predator conflict in Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi region. The project centers on hyenas while also monitoring other carnivores such as leopards, jackals, civets, and genets. Participants will engage in hands-on data collection using methods like camera trapping, scat sampling, and photographic documentation to better understand predator behavior, population dynamics, and habitat use.

This program offers valuable practical experience in wildlife research and conservation, allowing you to contribute to meaningful fieldwork while developing technical and analytical skills. You will also gain insight into the work of NGOs operating in remote environments, including the challenges of balancing conservation goals with local community needs. It is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the African bush and play an active role in applied conservation research.
