Hello!  I am a college graduate traveling to Latin America beginning in
late February, 1998.  I would love to spend part of this time doing
internship/volunteer work within local scientific communities.  I fly  to
Peru in late 2/98, travel south through  Chile and then north into
Argentina and Brazil during April.  I'd like to be in Ecuador in May and
June, and later, make my way to Panama and onward north to Mexico City in
the following months.  The timeframe may change as opportunities arise..

        I am especially interested in  wildlife management, animal
behavior research, and sustainable agriculture.  I studied wildlife
issues in Kenya with School for Field Studies; my research project there
involved keying and investigating human use of the plants on a local
nature site.  I became excited about animal cognition studies through
courses at Colorado College.  I will be traveling with two friends: one
an environmental sciences major with considerable organic farming and
Spanish experience and the other likewise interested and fluent in
Spanish.  We all hope to find experiences, though not necessarily with
the same organizations, which will further our interests as we travel.
Please reply if you know of any  current or ongoing projects that match,
or with any general information of research in the region.  This will be
greatly greatly appreciated!!
