Dear Viorel

Greetings from South Africa. I am a conservation biology research associate at the School of Life Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal. I have an active research profile covering a range of topics, but focusing mostly on marine sciences, ornithology, and anthropogenic impact research.

Together with my colleague Elton du Plooy, we have put together some exciting short-term fieldwork opportunities for International undergraduate and recent graduate students to gain valuable field experience in the conservation field in the Western Cape region of South Africa and around Kruger National Park. These opportunities are based on our combined experience working in research and conservation, and our passion for providing experiential opportunities for early career researchers to gain hands-on practical experience and to better understand the range of career opportunities available in the conservation arena. Building on the success of our sister company, Live4Now, with a track record of veterinary science excursions for visiting students of over a decade, Discover Eden is well placed to see your students' expectations fulfilled. Our courses in 2022 have gone exceptionally well, with students from several universities in the States, Europe and Australia participating and giving good feedback to us.

We would love to provide these opportunities to your institutions students and were hopeful you would be open to exploring this with us, or at least passing the information on to your students. We offer a two-week marine biology field course, a three-week ecology course and a three-week Big 5 experience. For more information about who we are and what we do, please see the PDF's below, or visit https://discovereden.co.za<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscovereden.co.za%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cocees%40listserv.ohio.edu%7Ce4b824fba61f4695bafb08da9fca675a%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C637997989587843171%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=x5jFVQsD%2FAwa2iG3n2eTzERmcC5C8TVXfjEhwYSIdrs%3D&reserved=0>.

I would love the opportunity to discuss a potential partnership with you and your students if you would be open to it. Please let me know, and I can arrange a suitable time to give you a call.

Kind regards

Mark
