About ABRE
African Biodiversity Research Expeditions (a subsidiary of African Ecological Conservation Projects) caters to volunteers and small student groups who would
like to gain experience participating in practical field research projects and
monitoring programs in African protected and wildlife areas.
These activities support and fund research and long-term conservation monitoring to create biodiversity inventories, monitor aspects of biodiversity, and inform
conservation management activities.
ABRE projects are currently centred around north and eastern South Africa with future activities in southern Mozambique pending the imminent registration of Mozambique Biodiversity Research Expeditions.
Our Expeditions
Student Excursions
ABRE currently facilitates practical student excursions for groups of up to 20 people in northern and eastern South Africa. These trips expose students to practical field research and monitoring techniques, which are supplemented with talks or lectures from conservationists and researchers in the field. The itinerary of each excursion is tailored according to the subject specifications of program coordinators or organisers and the group budget.
Volunteer Projects & Programs
ABRE conducts both once-off biodiversity assessments and research projects as well as continuous or annual monitoring programs which volunteers can apply to participate in. The funds generated from volunteer participation finance these projects.
