August of this year a group of 14 adventurous regional students spent 15 days
participating on an Operation Wallacea Student Research Expedition.  These students worked side-by-side with researchers deep in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve located in the heart of the Yucatan jungle. Students studies included birds, bats, large
mammals, crocodiles, butterflies, herpetofauna, forest structure, and jungle survival strategies. Students forged relationship with researchers from all over Europe and Central and South American, shared rice and bean meals, and international football matches in a jungle clearing. They explored ancient Mayan civilization ruins overgrown with jungle and teaming with monkeys. In their second week they trained for and earned PADI scuba diving certification and dove in the coral reefs on the Akumal coast. They studied reef ecology and sea turtles.
