Research Intern

The Research Intern supports the BES-Net II project by conducting applied research on invasive cacti control in Namibia, focusing on establishing a geospatial database of previous control measures and comparing the effectiveness of historical mechanical and biological interventions. The role involves compiling and validating historical data, conducting field verification, and producing evidence-based knowledge products to support future invasive alien species management and policy uptake. The intern will collaborate with the Biodiversity Research Centre, the National Botanical Research Institute, and UNDP to enhance evidence-based biodiversity governance.
