Field Projects International will be conducting Conservation Photography Workshops this summer in Peru. These intimate workshops will focus on camera technique and field ethics, as well as understanding rainforest and wildlife ecology at an active research station with extraordinary biodiversity. This is an opportunity for naturalists wanting to become more camera savvy, as well as for knowledgeable shutterbugs interested in exploring the Amazon and learning about a tropical biology. Along the way, you will improve your navigation skills (on and off trail), get practice setting camera traps, track and follow primates, investigate herpetofauna on night hikes, boat through oxbow lakes looking for giant otters, and climb a 60-meter canopy tower.
The cost is $1500 to receive the training as well as basic accommodation and all meals for this week-long workshop. Attendees will be responsible for getting to Puerto Maldonado, Peru, on their own.
