New Intern for Africa chosen for Ramsar Secretariat

The Secretariat is pleased to announce that Lucia Scodanibbio from South Africa has been selected as the next Intern/Assistant Advisor for the African region, replacing Ahmed El-Sabban from Egypt.

 Lucia graduated with a First class BSc (Honours) in Plant and Freshwater Ecology from the University of Cape Town. She also holds a BSc degree in Biology, Earth and Environmental Sciences from the same university.

 She has recently finished working on an 18-month project in Mozambique, promoting integrated water resources management for the Zambezi River, and she also has field experience in the Kosi Bay system in Kwazulu/Natal Province of South Africa and in Makerere University Biological Field Station, Kibale National Forest Park, Uganda.

 After the experience she gains in the Ramsar Secretariat, Lucia aims to work in integrated basin management issues in the Zambezi and elsewhere in Africa. The Ramsar Secretariat looks forward to welcoming Lucia in February 2005. [17/01/05]
