The fellowship will aid Magdalena Bennett to further develop her scientific analytical and writing skills, to network with experts in landscape ecology, remote sensing and carnivore conservation in Oxford, and write up the results from the Darwin project “Conservation of Puna’s Andean cats across national borders” of which she was an integral part. The fellowship will afford Magdalena the opportunity to work with Dr Claudio Sillero, the project’s UK expert, and his team on the impacts of human activities in the fragile High Andes ecosystem and suitable mitigation strategies. The fellowship will last for one year commencing in July 2010, and will be based at Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit.
