There is still room for a few more participants to join two Biodiversity Expeditions in Argentina that start on March 9, 2013 and March 25. Each expedition is 14 days long. You are invited to participate in either one or both expeditions. Space is limited and participants will be carefully selected. You will have a chance to make a big contribution to the protection of some of the most important wildland and biodiversity resources left on the planet. The conservation opportunities contained in these wildlands are immense. Here, we still have the chance of protecting unfragmented wildlands that are millions of hectares in size. Participation in these expeditions is a chance to experience these areas in an intimate way. The areas we explore are usually not in the tourist guides, nor the destination of ecotourism trips. Yet, they are some of the most magnificent places on the planet. They are brimming with life, and you can help us document their biodiversity. Limited financial assistance is available to exceptional individuals to help defray some of the expedition costs. We particularly need skilled botanists, ecologists, ornithologists and wildlife biologists - but others are encouraged to apply as well, as these expeditions require a diversity of expertise and perspectives.
This is a unique invitation to join us on an expeditions to explore the tremendous biodiversity and beautiful landscapes of some of the biggest wildland areas left on Earth. PBI is engaged in a project to map, explore, document and work with conservation partners on protection measures for the vast remaining wildlands of South America.
