I volunteered for five weeks at IPBIO's Amazon program, as well as five weeks at IPBIO's Atlantic Forest program. Working with Imran and Marleen was really fun at the Amazon program, as was working with Vitor and other staff at the Atlantic forest. I especially enjoyed the bird inventory. There are also mushroom, arthropod, fish, and tree plantings/inventories, so really something for everyone!
