Dear all you Neotropical bird fanatics out there!
Fauna Forever (http://faunaforever.org) in association with the Center for Ornithology and Biodiversity (CORBIDI, http://corbidi.org), both not-for-profit organizations working in Peru, are happy to announce that we will be running a series of bird banding courses in the Tambopata National Reserve located in the Amazon rainforest of south-eastern Peru. The courses will take place at the Explorer's Inn, an ecolodge and research station in operation since 1975 located close to the town of Puerto Maldonado, and home to 599 species of birds - a world record in its time.
The courses are led by expert, certified banders and are designed to appeal to both amateur and up-and-coming professional birders, students, field researchers and conservationists who are interested in attaining or improving their Neotropical bird identification, handling, banding/ringing, data collection and processing techniques.
