ENVR 1302 – Issues in Environmental Science

Next summer, you are invited to join me in tropical Peru at the Manu Biological Research Station, located within one of the most biologically diverse regions on Earth. Manu provides an extraordinary opportunity to study biodiversity in a living ecosystem that contains more than 2,077 plant species, 125 mammal species, 470 bird species, 48 amphibian species, 87 reptile species, 45 freshwater fish species, and tens of thousands of insects, arachnids, and other arthropods. More birds, more trees, more butterflies, more ants, more frogs — more of everything. This is more than a course about biodiversity; it is an opportunity to experience it firsthand through immersive field exploration in the Amazon rainforest.
