Thailand Study Abroad
Tropical Ecology & Conservation Program in Thailand
Dates: January 2025 | Credits: 5 (BIO 48400 & A48800)
The Thailand winter program will explore topics in tropical ecology and conservation. Students will learn about the functioning of many tropical ecosystems including forests, streams, mangrove swamps, coral reefs, and caves. Challenges to biodiversity conservation in tropical countries will be investigated during field trips. CCNY faculty, David Lohman, will oversee this intensive field-based course where students live at Khao Ban Thad Wildlife Sanctuary and visit a coral reef, a cave, and wetland areas. Students should be physically fit and willing to go on strenuous hikes in hot and humid conditions. The ability to swim would be advantageous. Biology 10200, an equivalent course, or permission of the instructor is required.
