Amazon Riverboat Exploration
Descripción
Descripción
As an Earthwatch volunteer, you’ll help the research staff survey animals, determine the size and composition of animal groups, determine distances to the animals, record information on datasheets, and weigh and measure animals. You’ll also visit community-based conservation plans in local indigenous villages.
The overarching research questions are: What are the populations of aquatic, terrestrial, and arboreal species, and how do animal populations change from climate change, dredging and community conservation, and sustainable use? You will help survey a variety of species that include river dolphins, wading & aquatic birds, bats, fish, caimans, frogs, large felids, giant river otters, ungulates and large rodents, macaws, primates, and game birds. Population trends of these species will be correlated with water level data, which are categorized into normal, extreme drought, and intensive flood conditions.
