Bat Conservation in Cuba

Assist with the study of bats in Cuba. 

When people think of the Caribbean, vacation getaway comes to mind. Cuba is a popular tourist destination, with its warm climate and beautiful sandy beaches. Tourism has been very important for the economics of Cuba, but has also resulted in habitat destruction, and hotel development. Many animals are affected by this loss of habitat, including several species of bats. On the following six days, participants will travel to different caves in the Matanzas or Varadero area. Participants will assist in hand-netting or harp trapping bats for species identification. Measurements will be taken and recorded and other observations made.

$2190 Canadian per participant for the week long expedition.
