Chocó Rainforest, Ecuador | Tentative dates: August 9 – August 23, 2013

Students will travel with Dr. Karubian and Dr. Duraes to Ecuador for a two-week intensive field course.

These activities will take place within a context of community engagement based on active collaboration and interaction with Ecuadorian local residents in a variety of contexts.
