Zoë is one of the first PhD students to build collaboration between the OLCT and the University of Cape Town (UCT) and we are very excited to have her onboard. Her supervisors at UCT are Dr Sampson Chimpango, Prof Timm Hoffmann and Dr Pippin Anderson. Zoë’s work will investigate the impacts of livestock grazing and attempt to develop rangeland restoration techniques for Overberg Renosterveld. Ultimately, as with all the research that we encourage in this field, results from this work will be used as the basis for improving our management guidelines for Renosterveld.
