The semester is swiftly moving along and we're on the brink of fall... Actually we don't have fall here exactly, but slowly enter the dry season along with some cooler temperatures. Two weeks ago we visited Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary with our Forest Ecology professor, Erik Lindquist.
During our time at Cockscomb we learned about the Jaguar sanctuary, did field research in a tropical moist forest, and saw a lot of beautiful birds. We learned about the tropics, why they exist, and some of the forces that are threatening them today.
By the end of the week it was amazing looking back at how much we had learned and experienced in such a short amount of time. Forest Ecology was a packed week that we will never forget, and will continue to reflect upon as we live in the middle of a tropical forest!
