New project launched to study and preserve biodiversity in Nicaragua

Dear Friends and Supporters, Thanks to you, we have now officially started our research project on biodiversity in Nicaragua.

On September 2nd, the first official planning meeting was held with project collaborators. We were fortunate to have in attendance the President of the University of Central America who is an ardent backer of this important research.

We consolidated our plans for recruiting local research volunteers and providing preliminary training in sample collections. We will now proceed with the exact site selection, transportation arrangements and purchasing materials for the field kits and laboratory work. We will be focusing on butterflies, mollusks and birds.

Thank you all again! We will keep you posted of our progress.
