Dr. Justin Hines of the field research organization Operation Wallacea will be giving a presentation about opportunities available for students next summer. Choice of location includes the cloud forests and coral reefs of Honduras, the lush tropical rainforest and immense coral reefs of Indonesia, the rivers and estuaries of the Peruvian Amazon, the bush of northeastern South Africa, the desert & coral reefs of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt and the coral reefs of Cuba. For 2011, we are very excited to announce our new projects in Guyana and Mexico! 

Opportunities include:

• Jungle trekking in pristine un-surveyed rainforests, seeking out species new to science
• Working on sustainable community development projects with the locals  (Indonesia, Honduras)
• Monitoring turtle nesting and behavioral patterns (Cuba, Peru)
