Wildlife Conservation Expeditions for Science students at the University of Malta
 
Take the opportunity to apply what you learn in your science lectures at biodiversity hotspots across the world whilst improving your CV!  Sites include:  Indonesia, South Africa, Croatia, Cuba, Honduras, Romania and many more!

Operation Wallacea (Opwall) is an organisation that runs a series of biological and conservation management research programmes in remote locations across the world. These expeditions are designed with specific wildlife conservation aims in mind – from identifying areas needing protection, through to implementing and assessing conservation management programmes. What is different about Operation Wallacea is that large teams of ecologists, scientists, academics and postgraduate researchers who are specialists in various aspects of biodiversity or social and economic studies are concentrated at the target study sites. This gives volunteers the opportunity to work on a range of projects. The surveys produce a large number of publications in peer-reviewed journals each year and have resulted in 30 vertebrate species new to science being discovered, 4 ‘extinct’ species being re-discovered, and over US$ 2 million levered from funding agencies to set up best practice management examples at the study sites. These large survey teams of scientists and volunteers are funded independently of normal academic sources. This enables large temporal and spatial biodiversity and socio-economic datasets to be produced and provide information to help with organising effective conservation management programmes.
