An impressive number of MSc and PhD student projects has been
carried out and supervised from ITFC since 1988. Many of the graduates
have gone on to occupy important positions in conservation and education
throughout the country. Find here a chronological overview; hard
copies of (most
of) these are available in ITFC's library. We are hoping to make digital
copies available on this website in due time. The hyperlinks in green below present summaries of the respective
theses. The ones in pink are under
preparation and will soon be posted.
