ERAIFT is gradually opening up to the English-speaking world as part of the overhaul of its education system, by encouraging French-English bilingualism in teaching and scientific research. It is in this context that it has signed a collaboration agreement with the Southern African Wildlife College SAWC. Thus, eight ERAIFT students specialising in protected area management at the Garoua Wildlife School (EFG, Cameroon), including six Beninese and two Congolese (DRC), carried out an academic internship at SAWC in South Africa from March to June 2023 in order to complete their final thesis.
