Our popular traveling course “Tropical Ecosystems: Andes • Amazon • Pacific Coast” exposes undergraduates to an enormous diversity of habitats, and rare species and Latin American cultures. Students journey together across Ecuador and immerse themselves in hands-on field research, learning standard ecological techniques and valuable job skills including wildlife census methods, bird mistnetting, primate ethology, and in-depth training in GIS and GPS. Students have the opportunity to design & conduct independent research projects in highly threatened coastal dry forest habitat. This month-long program runs from May 25 - June 23, 2014 and is accredited by UW Madison for 4 honors-level credits (General Ecology - Bot/Zoo 460).
We are also promoting another great summer service-learning course, “Water for Life: Sustainability & Community Health in Ecuador”, as well as our 8-week Conservation Internships.
Please let your students know about these amazing opportunities by forwarding them this email and the attached course announcement.
