Ascension Island Conservation Internships
If anyone is looking for an internship I can highly recommend working on Ascension Island. Internships run for 1 year and are unpaid however travel to the island, accommodation and subsistence are covered. There is so much to get involved in within the department, seabirds (I was the conservation seabird scientist there for 5 years), turtles, plants and fisheries. Please pass on the information to anyone who might be interested. https://www.ascension.gov.ac/vacancy/conservation-intern?fbclid=IwAR0UFWc4x2ThtMacpbkZM5pK6QuZApdf0XTfDLxykylpUE35mrymni1fyq8
Looking for training opportunities for Advanced GIS and Database creation and management
Hello,I am on the hunt for courses or possibly Masters in GIS or Data management (especially building databases), bonus would be if the course had a conservation theme. It would need to be remote learning due to Covid-19 but with the jobs market quite slow and my love of learning it seems like a good opportunity to see what is out there. Really enjoyed Wildteam's Project management and Strategy development for wildlife courses - need something to fill the space.I will keep searching but any recommendations would be most welcome.
