An excellent year for TBA achievers

3 March 2015

2014 has been a great year for TBA as many of our alumni received recognition for their conservation work — both in their own countries as well as internationally. Read about these wonderful achievements in Alumni news, and find out more about the career development of others in Alumni Stories.

We will feature more alumni news and stories in the coming year. Please tell us when you have a new job, complete a PhD programme, publish your research in a renowned journal or receive an award. Send a summary of your achievements to Alumni desk and we can spread the word. Your news and your stories are motivating to all TBA alumni and a source of pride to TBA.
