Daniel Booysen (1988 – 2010) Memorial Award

In 2010 the Conservation Ecology programme, and indeed the world, tragically lost a very promising young conservationist. 

Daniel Booysen, in his 4th year of his Conservation Ecology BSc, held great promise for a bright future – he was academically gifted, passionate, and committed to African Conservation. 

To honour his memory, and to promote conservation in Africa, the Booysen family has generously committed funding towards the “Daniel Booysen Memorial Award” for the best Conservation Ecology 448 project.

2011 – Sarah Chippendale
