Earth Expeditions in Belize: Environmental Stewardship

Join our partner, the Belize Zoo, and explore diverse terrestrial, coastal, and coral reef communities in the country while learning about conservation programs on species such as harpy eagles, jaguars, manatees, and howler monkeys. Possible investigations include monitoring manatee population dynamics, human influence on coral reefs, aquatic mangrove species sampling, and species behavior studies at the Belize Zoo. Discover the power of inquiry to generate knowledge and inspire conservation. All students can investigate the local ecosystem, ask questions, collect data, and present conclusions.

Before and following the field experience in Belize, students will complete coursework via Dragonfly Workshops Web-Based Learning Community as they apply these experiences to their home institutions.
