If you are a teacher looking for a great opportunity to enrich your students with a special experience, this package is for you! We offer courses on tropical ecology with field experiences focused on hands-on learning.
The courses aim to introduce students to the field of tropical ecology, to provide them with advanced scientific knowledge, and to introduce them to the use of critical thinking applied to the field of ecology and conservation. Along the courses, students are led to discover several tropical ecosystems, and learn about both the theoretical and practical aspects of the field of ecology. They will interact with teachers and expert guests during lectures and field trips. Students will explore and learn about several tropical ecosystems, such as the Pacific Ocean and coast, Mangroves, Seasonal dry forest, Rainforest, Cloud Forest, Freshwater ecosystems (lagoons, crater lakes), Caribbean Ocean and island (including coral reefs), and more!
The courses are adjusted to the students’ prior knowledge. It can be offered as an introduction to tropical ecology for high school or first-year students or as a specialized class for more advanced students. Since our tour leaders are experienced ecologists with advanced university degrees, we welcome students from high schools, colleges and universities. The content of the courses can be discussed and adapted, and we also adapt the level of physical difficulty based on the group’s physical capacity.
