RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE
To promote research activities a number of research centres
have been developed in key EKZNW protected areas across the province. These research centres
will assist researchers by providing accommodation, office and laboratory space, access to
databases and other information, as well as logistical support (including, in some cases, field
assistants).
During the registration process you can enquire about the
availability and conditions of use of research accommodation. Generally, given the need to
generate income to offset the inadequate State subsidy for conservation, no discounts are given for
the use of tourist accommodation.
You will need to quote your Project Registration Number when
making a booking for any research accommodation.
