oin us on an eye-opening expedition to the wilds of Costa Rica and Panama to learn about New World monkeys and how we can help protect them from extinction. Among the many endangered creatures, few are more intriguing than monkeys of Central America. White-faced capuchins, spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys and mantled howler monkeys steal your hearts as they gaze at you from the trees. Travel to El Zota Biological Field Station in the heart of Costa Rica to learn about primate ecology in a spectacular rainforest setting. Journey to a tropical island on Panama’s Caribbean coast to continue your studies, participate in ongoing monkey research and examine threats to their survival in a biodiversity hotspot that has been called the Galapagos of Panama. Returning to Costa Rica, work alongside local organizations and scientists on animal rehabilitation, reforestation, conservation and education efforts on the Pacific coast, using our newfound knowledge to teach others about monkeys and the importance of preserving their endangered habitats.
