As a research volunteer on the BRinK tracking skills programme, you will learn how to identify an animal by the tracks and droppings it left, how to investigate its behaviour and even tell age and sex. As part of the programme you will also get the opportunity to use distance sampling techniques to spot large mammals along a transect using specialist equipment.
Apply and propose your ideas of a tracking programme!
