i'm interested, but why only one country? i think we should do 2 or 3 at least if they are in reasonable proximity, maximise observation and comparison!

[joaovox]

it is up to us to decide if 1, 2 or 3,
Malawi and Zimbabwe are good candidates for that...

I could be interested. Will depend on cost and dates.
Please email me if it goes ahead.
Thanks.

possible dates for me are Spring and Summer 2012.
total length of the study visit could be 4-6 months, 2 or 3 countries.
would prefer to volunteer for 2 months at one project/each country, and to visit a couple of projects nearby.
i'm specially interested in projects located in savana type environments.
