BRAZIL - Amazon Cruise and Ecolodge - Coming soon
BELIZE - Coming soon
ECUADOR - Coming soon
A series of 3 one month long surveys of the Parrots of REGUA to determine
the difference in species between the seasons. These trips are to follow on
from the survey in November 2007 and other trips to REGUA in the Atlantic
Rainforest.
If you cannot manage a full month then a week or 2 maybe possible to
either join the survey or just observe and visit the local areas. A great introduction to the Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil staying in a super lodge with lots of conservation work going on (not just the parrots).
