MEASURE 8. Number of students supported with approved theses

ISSUE

Building Latin American capacity for conservation science through formal academic training and support of university students.

DEFINITION

Here we are including undergraduate and postgraduate theses. In order to qualify WCS and/or a WCS employee must figure in the acknowledgments of a given thesis

RESULTS

Cumulative results show a total of 231 theses defended between 1995 and 2015, of which approximately 49.36% are from South American students, largely due to the international nature of thesis support in the Yavari-Samiria Landscape of Peru. Even so Latin American student thesis support is significant.
