Greetings from Belize!
Are you searching for an opportunity to put your studies in environmental science or ecology to work in a field setting?
The
Institute for Sustainable International Studies, ISIS, is offering
ecology field courses in Belize that create a chance to study in the
tropical, English-speaking setting of Belize and gain valuable
professional and personal experience. Belize’s rich environment,
cultures and biodiversity are the labs for these courses. About 40% of
the land and sea areas of Belize are set aside in protected areas, parks
or reserves to protect its diverse flora and fauna. One student
summarized his experience by saying, “The field trips were the best
in the Marine Ecology class. Nothing like getting outside and
experiencing first hand and being able to converse with the locals! I
learned a lot about the environments and problems in Belize and its
culture and customs. Take this course – I had a great experience.”
