Ever wonder what @sanparks scientists & bio-technicians do? Check out our annual research report for a peak into our world. Its jammed packed with conservation & protected area research, monitoring, science-management & stakeholder engagement stories sanparks.org/scientific-ser…

Why do we keep tiny samples of animal tissues in a Biobank? Seshnee Reddy explains how animal tissues get deposited into the Biobank, the relevance of why we do this, and how it could benefit our wildlife population and the environment around us. youtube.com/watch?v=Jy55eU…

@SiCreerProf @intotheokavango @goetzneef @vonderHeydenlab @royalsociety @NatGeo Cant wait to see the outcomes!!

An honour to work with @intotheokavango @goetzneef @vonderHeydenlab trialling aqueous #eDNA #metabarcoding to assess fish biodiversity in #Okavango Delta. Big thanks for all support via @royalsociety and team to work with this @NatGeo initiative

Just a few snapshots of an amazing trip into the #Okavango sampling #eDNA for #fish #biodiversity monitoring. Now the really hard work starts! @SiCreerProf @goetzneef @intotheokavango Watch our for the #eDNA movie coming soon (hopefully)

I'm a #ResearcherinAfrica with @NRF_News. We need to have enough food to eat, so I am finding out which animals live where. We can then manage how many animals we catch and where from, so we don't run out! Check out my drawing for more... (this tweet was made with #upgoerfive)

It’s all happening for our #eDNA #fish #biodiversity work in the Okavango. Not much water, but plenty for us to be getting on with! @goetzneef @profsicreer @intotheokavango

@scienceSUN @StellenboschUni @InvasionScience @NRF_News Congratulations Dave! A great achievement that is Well deserved!
