Dear Students,

Operation Wallacea <http://opwall.com/>  is a biodiversity research and
conservation management organization hosting scientific expeditions in
Indonesia, Transylvania, South Africa, Madagascar, Peru, Guyana, Honduras
and Mexico. These research sites are run in remote locations with the help
of university volunteers and academics from around the world.

Students can join the research expeditions during the summer months to
gain experience with field research and data collection:
