This 2-week expedition is for a group and me to get a taste of Amazonian wildlife research whilst based on a research boat in a remote part of the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve in the Amazon. The expedition starts with the Amazonian Wildlife Ecology and Conservation course with lectures and field practicals designed to train me in the survey techniques and to identify some of the main species encountered. For the second week, I would work on the macaw point counts, mist netting, caiman, amphibian, fishing bats, large mammal camera trapping, gill netting for fish, dolphin and turtle transects and habitat assessment surveys. Most importantly, this expedition's purpose is to highlight the wonderful diversity of species in the Amazon forest and the impending existential threats they face if conservation efforts are disregarded.
