For the past few weeks we have been joined by five students from the University Técnica Nacional. They are all ecotourism majors who are doing a work experience by joining our project every week from Thursday to Sunday. So far they have been immersed in the life of a Capuchins @ Taboga assistant: learning the Tenori monkey IDs, taking tree reproductive state data, identifying animals from trail camera photos, and identifying and measuring trees in vegetation transects.
They have been excellent sports about the mosquitos and working in the flooded forest!
