Martha Groom and I will be teaching the "Andes to Amazon: Biodiversity, conservation and sustainability in Peru" study abroad program in Aug-September (offered for the 13th year!). Our program focuses on explorations of biodiversity, ecology, conservation and sustainability in those regions. Students also have opportunities to gain skills in field ecology research and/or delve into more detail in other human-conservation-environment social issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>We would appreciate it if you could spread the word about this program among your students.
