Dear ECOLOG Community, Please invite your students to participate in Antioch Education Abroad's Brazilian Ecosystems Program. It is an outstanding opportunity for direct field experience with the ecology and biodiversity of Brazil's preserved environments, and with real world conservation problem solving where those preserved areas are under threat.
Besides being a really exciting cultural experience, the program appeals to students with a broad range of interests. While we focus on the ecological concepts at work in conservation science, the program also includes a hard look at the sociopolitical factors that are key to addressing the environmental problems facing Brazil. The program is a 16-credit fall semester for undergraduate students that takes place from 30 August to 29 November. The program travels to the Atlantic Forest, Cerrado Savanna, Amazon Rainforest, and Pantanal Wetland, across four different states: Paraná, Goiás, Amazonas, and Mato Grosso. Students return to campus inspired and energized about continuing their education towards more realistically defined career goals. Please encourage your students to learn more about this program by directing them to aea.antioch.edu/brazil *Also please note that we will continue to accept applications past the March 31st deadline until the program is full.* Thank you for your time, Suzanne Kolb, Ph.D. Ecology Associate Professor of Environmental Science Director, Brazilian Ecosystems Program sk...@antioch.edu Antioch Education Abroad Antioch University 900 Dayton Street Yellow Springs, OH 45387
