Subject: Opportunity for internship on human-wildlife interaction around
the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve and Navegaon-Nagzira corridor, Maharashtra.
To: Young Ecologists Talk & Interact Yeti <meet.yeti@xxxxxxxxx>
Dear Team YETI,
Please circulated this.
I am looking for an intern to assist me in studying the human-wildlife
interaction around the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve and Navegaon-Nagzira
corridor for 3 months. This study is supported by Tadoba Andhari Tiger
Reserve Conservation Foundation and the Defries-Bajpai Foundation.
The intern will mainly assist with conducting questionnaire surveys about
selected villages within the study area, help in collecting and maintaining
spatial information and transcribe/translate interviews from Marathi to
English. Therefore, I expect the candidate to be highly proficient in
communication in Marathi and basic English. Apart from this knowledge of
using GPS and managing data in an excel spreadsheet is expected.
I am looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic person as sometimes
conducting social surveys becomes a bit monotonous and requires patience to
communicate with the local community, especially about their views and
perception of wildlife conservation.
We will provide basic field accommodation in the study area. Food and field
travel will be taken care of during the sampling period. The chances of
sighting wildlife in one of the most pristine habitats of central India is
a bonus for this position.
If interested, please send your short CV along with a description of your
previous experience with social surveys (if any) and motivation for this
project as a brief note (250-300 words) as a single PDF to
cffdtadoda2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx before 10 June 2022. Selected candidates will
be interviewed and the final candidate will be expected to join the project
by 1 st July 2022.
Let me know if you have any questions here. Please write to me at

Warm Regards
