PhD Student Using Crowdfunding To Help Exploited Species
Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2015 1:23 pm
Peter Roberts, a PhD student at Oxford Brookes University has been studying the Asian Palm Civet since 2013. He launched a Crowdfunder campaign to raise £5,000 to learn more about their natural habitats and roles in the wild.
