Costa
Rica is the ideal background for science tours, study of agro-ecotourism
and general student travel, allowing pupils to have an interactive
experience whilst learning about the ecosystem, the wildlife
and the fragile balance of the habitats in the tropics.
|
 |
| The
choice of activities featured during these trips is varied
and generally includes fieldwork at key reserves and volunteering
at national parks on specific projects (e.g. monitoring the
behavioural patters of scarlet Macaws, looking after Turtle
nestling sites or collecting data for fellow researchers and
biologists). |
 |
|
|
Workshops,
lectures and basic Spanish classes may be built into these
programmes to complement the field work with the various
organizations and locations visited.
These trips result in a rewarding experience for both locals
and visiting students; also carry an added benefit to the
host country - this not only through the work done by students,
but also as a result of the economical support from participating
fees payable to these conservation organizations, which
help support and sponsor specific research projects and
efforts in their own Conservation fields.
