“On behalf of my career in conservation, I extend my sincere gratitude to the Namibia
Carnivore Research Trust for assisting me in obtaining my Natural Resources Management
Honours Degree. The Trust’s unwavering commitment to research and education has
provided me with invaluable opportunities to grow as a conservationist. The mentorship, field
experience, and scientific guidance I received have been instrumental in shaping my
professional path, and I remain deeply appreciative of the Trust’s role in advancing both my
career and the broader mission of wildlife protection.”

“I am deeply grateful to the Namibia Carnivore Reseach Trust (NCRT) for their generous support. This opportunity allows me to contribute meaningfully to conservation while gaining invaluable hands-on experience in the field.

The skills, knowledge, and mentorship I will gain through this support will not only strengthen my career in conservation but also enable me to better advocate for the protection and coexistence of Namibia’s carnivores and entire wildlife that I work with. Thank you for investing in both conservation and the next generation of conservation practitioners.”

“I am sincerely grateful to the Namibia Carnivore Research Trust for the role they played in my personal and academic development. In 2023, NCRT offered me an employment opportunity at one of their camps in Kongola, Zambezi Region, where I worked until December. During this time, I was part of a diverse and respectful working environment that valued inclusivity, dignity, and teamwork, regardless of background or level of education. In January 2024, NCRT further supported my academic journey by assisting with my registration fees at the University of Namibia. Being part of the camp environment and observing conservation operations across different locations gave me valuable exposure to the organisational side of conservation work and contributed positively to my career aspirations. I remain deeply appreciative of the support and values upheld by the Namibia Carnivore Research Trust.”
