The Elephants for Landscapes Program aims to monitor long-term population changes in response to environmental change and anthropogenic pressures in Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve. We 1) collect population density and abundance and habitat use data using both walking and driving large mammal transects, 2) conduct individual identification and using capture-mark-recapture to assess density and herd dynamics, 3) record herd group dynamics and characteristics, and 4) conduct a diet analysis using dung. The recognisable individuals and herds form the foundation of our research, allowing us to collect long-term data on interactions and associations between individuals and different groups. This is the first study on the elephant populations in Northern Malawi. Job Description We are looking for
