| USDA Sends Teachers to South Africa | |||
| Teachers from
three Washington, DC, elementary schools are traveling to South Africa to participate in a
research project through the Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA. The teachers will work with South African scientists in a survey of floral plant diversity at several parks and conservation areas and will meet South African educators who are also participating in the pilot program. |
The teachers will also study plant
taxonomy and ecology at the Southern African Wildlife College in Pretoria. During
the two-week trip, they will also travel to Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Kruger
National Park, and Kalahari Gemsbok National Park. The cooperative effort is funded by FAS' International Cooperation and Development and hosted by the Plant Genetic Resources Unit of South Africa's Agricultural Research Council. |
