The Iimbovane team tells Quest readers how ants are being used to teach learners about biodiversity
Both marine and terrestrial, science and conservation, fauna and flora, the whole spectrum of nature’s beauty was displayed at the annual Biodiversity Careers Expo held on the 6th August 2015 at Harold Porter National Botanical Garden, Betties bay. Here, Iimbovane’s display of microscopes and insects certainly attracted the attention of many.
While most other Maties students were off on their summer holidays, two hardworking BSc undergrads decided to stick around campus to do holiday work with Iimbovane Outreach Project.
The Western Cape Education Department’s (WCED) Careers Expo is always a highlight on the Iimbovane Project’s calendar. 2014 was no exception and Iimbovane was there in full force – visible, active and interacting with learners from the Overberg education district.
