Dear list members, I am a professor and researcher at the International Institute in Wildlife Management and Conservation (http://www.icomvis.una.ac.cr/) at the Universidad Nacional, a public university in Costa Rica. I just being appointed as the research coordinator of a private nature reserve (http://www.selvaverde.com/lang/en/) located in the Caribbean slope of Costa Rica where soon we will be creating, together with the Institute, the Center for Biodiversity, Sustainable Development, and Climate Change. As the research coordinator I will like to invite and offer all the facilities to anybody interested on developing research and field courses at these facilities. There are also opportunities for environmental education and volunteer work at the Sarapiqui Conservation Learning Center (http://www.learningcentercostarica.org/) The use of the facilities will have a cost but we can offer very reasonable prices for researchers and academic institutions. The main goal from all the partners in this endeavor is to preserve the tropical rainforest within the nature reserve and the surrounding area. If you want more information please dont hesitate to contact me at:
