Incredible Opportunity
by: George Earnshaw - United KingdomProgram: Operation Wallacea - HondurasI completed my dissertation research project with the Cusuco National Park team, and had an absolute blast- my focus was herpetofauna but witnessing the amazing flora and fauna of Cusuco really made the trip truly special, I hope to return!!

by: Oscar Paulinski - United KingdomProgram: Operation Wallacea - HondurasSpent 6 weeks in mexico's marine site collecting data for my undergraduate thesis.
