Dear Students,
Operation Wallacea <http://opwall.com/> is a biodiversity research
and conservation management organization hosting scientific
expeditions in Indonesia, Transylvania, South Africa, Madagascar,
Peru, Guyana, Honduras and Mexico. These research sites are run in
remote locations with the help of university volunteers and academics
from around the world.
Students can join the research expeditions during the summer months
