first half of the course</span></span><span lang="en-GB"><span
style="font-weight: normal">
at our field site in the Atlantic forest, one of the most
diverse but
sadly also most threatened forests of the world. Here, you’ll

introduced to the background of conservation in Paraguay</span></span><span
lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight: normal">
</span></span><span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight:

different methods of primate studies like VHF telemetry,
vocalisation
and ID training. You’ll also get the chance to practice your
newly
learned skills with the incredible hooded capuchin monkeys!<br>
For the second
half of the course, we'll take you to a very different
habitat: The
Ñeembucú Wetlands around the small town of Pilar, </span></span><span
lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight: normal">home
to the highly adaptable </span></span><span lang="en-GB"><span
style="font-weight: normal">urban
black-and-gold howler monkeys. </span></span><span
lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight: normal">These unique
monkeys live both in the pristine forests around Pilar and in
the gardens of the town's residents!</span></span><span
lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight: normal">
You’ll be introduced to the </span></span><span lang="en-GB"><span
style="font-weight: normal">human
wildlife conflict</span></span><span lang="en-GB"><span
style="font-weight: normal">,
</span></span><span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-weight:

further primatology methods such as faecal and urine sampling.
Plan your own
short project, collect your own data and present your results
to your
