Scientific expedition

Activity description Institution / Organization
2022/06/27 - 2022/07/11 This expedition was based in clusters of scientists and field biologists running a series wildlife research projects in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve in Mexico. The surveys are designed when the results across the different surveys are taken together to answer conservation questions and identify any long-term biodiversity changes occurring. The expeditions are funded by, and rely on, teams of student volunteers who join expeditions for the opportunity to work on real-world research programmes alongside academic researchers.
