Borneo

The first week we will be spent in the Lesan conservation forest camp where we will participate in a borneo wildlife and conservation course and will help with a series of biodiversity surveys. These surveys will include mist nets and point counts for birds, forest structure surveys to support the REDD+ application, primate and mammal surveys, pitlines and standardised searches for herpetofauna and invertebrate surveys using a range of techniques such as sweep nets and intercept traps.

During the second week we will complete six days of training in marine ecology at Derawan dive resort on Derawan island. Here we will have the option of completing our PADI Open Water dive qualification or if they are already dive trained or don't want to learn to dive then they can complete the indo Pacific reef ecology course.
