It was a thrilling and an intensive month-long field course (10th July – 9th August) in Kibale Forest, Uganda, organized by the Tropical Biology Association. The course covered key aspects of ecology and conservation, including ecological interactions, practical fieldwork, and project design and implementation.
The course was uniquely diverse, bringing together participants from different places across Africa, Europe, and the USA. As part of the course, they conducted an ecological project assessing the interactions between dung beetles in different habitat niches (dung). Members from the College of Forestry, Wildlife and tourism also had a chance to be part of this exciting scientific adventure that provided them growth in ecological and conservation spheres together with making new connection with new people from around the world
It was an incredible learning experience and for the connections made among participants from diverse backgrounds.
