Hello all, I just wanted to share with you that the following course are still receiving applications.
Tropical Landscape Conservation<http://education.tropicalstudies.org/en/education/graduate-opportunities/programs/tropical-landscape-conservation.html> In this intensive and practical course, students will gain knowledge about anthropologic and natural factors, which interact to produce, restore, and conserve landscapes. Students will apply those concepts on real conservation issues, like reclamation of wetlands and unused agro-forestry areas, linking them with urban realms; in this process, we will interact with local communities, scientists, conservation officers, politicians and NGOs. Animals, People and Nature<http://education.tropicalstudies.org/en/education/graduate-opportunities/programs/animals-people-and-nature.html> Animals, People and Nature introduces students to a wide spectrum of wild animal issues through an interactive and interdisciplinary social science lens. The course provides an academic experience that is engaging, interdisciplinary, applied, personal, and inclusive, not just in terms of its accessibility and variety, but in terms of the multi-species perspectives it promotes. Tropical Fungi and Fungi like Organisms<http://education.tropicalstudies.org/en/education/graduate-opportunities/programs/tropical-fungi-and-fungi-like-organisms.html> This intense course will focus on the ecology, diversity and basic classification of tropical macro- and micro-fungi, and fungal-like organisms, including slime molds "myxomycetes." The course will cover fungi from high elevation to mid-elevation forested areas, while engaging participants in short field and laboratory research projects. In addition, we will discuss how fungi affect conservation, our lives and society. It you know of students that may be interested in these programs please let them know. Best, Andres Santana, M.Sc.
