On our next expedition, local environmentally concerned high school students will travel to Costa Rica from June 16-26, 2021 to take part in biological conservation research and sustainability leadership initatives. Students will experience all of the wonders of Costa Rica from the amazing plant and animal diversity, to learning about local sustainable farming practices, to zip-lining through the jungle canopy, and rafting or kayaking through the rainforest and in the ocean. Students will also interact with local communities and farmers to gain valuable insight into the native culture. Students will have the opportunity to work with scientific experts in the field to  learn about the unique wildlife in the area and the current threats to biodiversity. In addition, students will gain experience conducting hands-on conservation research while assisting with ongoing sea turtle research projects in the Osa Peninsula.
