Under the UK Overseas Territories and Crown
Dependencies Training and Research Programme there are
opportunities for organisations and individuals from the Overseas
Territories to request financial contributions to research projects and
request financial support to attend training courses.
Training Courses
The Durrell Wildlife Conservation
Trust have produced a conservation training
prospectus for their 2012 courses. Durrell’s mission is saving
species from extinction. They achieve this through conservation
breeding programmes, restoring species in their native habitats and
training others to do the same.
University of Reading have
announced a UKOTs and CDs Training and
Research Programme Facebook Page! Facebook has become a very
popular and modern way of exchanging scientific information and
promoting opportunities to targeted audiences. The creation of the
Page will hopefully serve the same purpose of the recently created
forum, but appeal to more people and be more user-friendly.
To those with active profiles on Facebook, please ‘Like’ the
Page! You can then interact with others using the Page, as well as
posting links to information you have found useful or to the
webpages of your own organisations.
Educational Materials
At the request of the Overseas Territories and Crown
Dependencies Steering group, a web page has also been set up to
direct people who are interested to environmental education materials
that have been produced by or about the Overseas Territories and
Crown Dependencies.
