Melanie de Morney was recently appointed as an Assistant Technical Officer for the Iimbovane Outreach Project. After completing her BSc degree (Biodiversity and Conservation Ecology) at the University of the Western Cape, she worked as an intern at the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI). She is passionate about animals and conserving the environment so Iimbovane is the perfect organisation for her to spread her wings in the field. Melanie will be assisting with collecting samples, outreach and contributing to the reference collection by identifying the ant species found.
