SFS Australia: Marsupials of Australia
Program Overview
Australia is home to unusual and fascinating animals. Spend your summer studying tree-climbing kangaroos, egg-laying mammals, flightless birds, huge reptiles, and the many other iconic animals that dwell in Australia's ancient rainforests and arid savannas with SFS.

You will learn field skills such as wildlife observation techniques, non-invasive population assessments, habitat and biodiversity evaluation, population viability studies, citizen science protocols, and ways for assessing human development impact.
