The main goal of this project is to identify and monitor ecological, epidemiological and genetics aspects of the regional jaguar population, and develop strategies for the management and conservation of the species. Interns have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of data collection including: monitoring through radio telemetry; setting and checking camera traps; and collecting scats with scat detector dogs. Interns are expected to treat all data-collecting activities with responsibility and seriousness.
Lodging is provided at the study area but interns buy and prepare their own meals. Interns spend around £30 per month on food. There is also a monthly administration fee of £150 or £270 (dependent on participation dates).
