TRAINING, SCHOLARSHIP & INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY

CANADA'S NEW NOAHS -- a professional training and field 
experience programme in the conservation and management 
of endangered species

Opportunity: Canada's New Noah
Organization: Wildlife Preservation Canada
       http://www.wildlifepreservation.ca
Date posted to GoodWorkCanada.ca: Nov 1, 2006
Application deadline: Nov 30, 2006
Term: March 2007 to the beginning of January 2008
Location: Canada/England/Mauritius

Wildlife Preservation Trust Canada is searching for a "New 
Noah", an enthusiastic young Canadian scientist willing to 
participate in a rigorous ten-month professional training 
program, with the possibility of a six-month Canadian 
internship placement to follow, to learn the methods of 
endangered species management pioneered in Europe 
by the late author and naturalist Gerald Durrell and in 
North America by Richard Fyfe and Dr. Tom Cade.

Canada's New Noahs will be offered scholarship funding 
to travel and work first on the island of Jersey in the 
English Channel, at the Trust's International Training 
Centre. Here they will receive four months of training 
working along side zoo staff members and receive hands-
on experience in the methods of captive breeding and 
management with the unique collection of endangered 
animals being bred at the zoological facility of the 
Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. Following this 
formal training, the New Noah will journey to the island 
of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, once the home of the 
ill-fated Dodo. On Mauritius, they will work for six to 
seven months as a field assistant to the Trust's on-going in 
situ field research, captive breeding and re-introduction 
programs with endangered birds in Mauritius. A six-month 
Canadian internship placement, working with Canadian 
endangered species, may follow the return from Mauritius.

What does it take to become one of Canada's New Noahs?

* Post secondary degree in biology, zoology, veterinary 
or related studies
* A passionate interest in wildlife conservation
* A natural talent with animals and experience in observing 
and caring for them
* Ability to work closely with others as part of a team
* Ability to work independently when necessary with a 
minimum of direction
* Ability to be flexible and open-minded
* Ability to laugh at oneself -- even while struggling to 
save the world
* Excellent health, climbing skills and a love of hiking
* Good written and oral communications skills
* Fluency in French an advantage, but not a requirement

NOTE: The successful applicant will be expected to be 
available from March, 2007 to the beginning of January 
2008 to participate in this program.
