A bit of background:
SEABCRU FELLOWSHIPS 2008
In 2008, eight young researchers sponsored by Earthwatch 
Institute and their Biodiversity Partners British American Tobacco joined my research project in Malaysia as SEABCRU Capacity Building Fellows. These young bat scientists came from Vietnam, Indonesia, Taiwan, and India spent a month (two teams for a month each) covering all the essentials of bat research (harp-trapping, mist-netting, canopy-netting, radio-tracking, sound analysis), completing a lecture series, and familiarizing themselves with the full range of the Malaysian Bat Conservation Research Unit’s education and outreach materials. The second team even conducted an education workshop for members of the public in the Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur. It was a wonderful start to the program, so many thanks to BAT Biodiversity Partnership and the fellows themselves of course: Fikty Aprilinayati (Indonesia), Kanagaraj Chinnasamy (India), Vuong Tan Tu (Vietnam), Hesti Suwardi (Indonesia), Rahul Prabhukhanolkar (India), Chuan-Chia Huang (Taiwan), Taufiq Purna Nugraha (Indonesia), and Maryati (Indonesia)
