Conservation Photography Workshop

[Melanie Colón]

Field Projects International will be conducting Conservation Photography
Workshops this summer in Peru. These intimate workshops will focus on
camera technique and field ethics, as well as understanding rainforest
and wildlife ecology at an active research station with extraordinary
biodiversity. This is an opportunity for naturalists wanting to become
more camera savvy, as well as for knowledgeable shutterbugs interested
in exploring the Amazon and learning about a tropical biology. Along the
way, you will improve your navigation skills (on and off trail), get
practice setting camera traps, track and follow primates, investigate
herpetofauna on night hikes, boat through oxbow lakes looking for giant
otters, and climb a 60-meter canopy tower.

The cost is $1500 to receive the training as well as basic accommodation
and all meals for this week-long workshop. Attendees will be responsible
for getting to Puerto Maldonado, Peru, on their own.
