Insects are of incredible economic and ecological importance. Not only are insects the basis of many foodchains; they comprise over 50% of all described species on Earth. However, most species of insect seem yet to be discovered. It is estimated that there up to 5 and 10 million species of insect - even this number varies, and many new species are described every year. In the Kalahari, only little is known about the insect fauna.

 

With BRinK, entomological enthusiasts, professionals and students have the opportunity to collect, prepare and identify insects in Kuzikus for the local collection. Small ecological studies between plants and insects will let us gain insights into insect natural history.


You gain hands-on experience in entomological work and learn from experts on site!
