B365 Biodiversity of Belize3 credit(s)
Biodiversity of Belize is a field-based study abroad course that offers the opportunity to experience some of the most biologically rich ecosystems in the Western Hemisphere - the tropical rain forest and Barrier Reef of Belize. During this course, students will experience and observe the diversity of flora and fauna found within the Neotropics while spending time in a remote Maya Village, the world-renowned Bladen Nature Reserve, and South Water Caye. In addition to the rich biodiversity of the region, students will be immersed in the diverse, rich cultural heritage of the country while learning about contemporary issues related to conservation and environmental protection. Students should be able to swim and hike on moderately difficult terrain. Assessments will include pre-trip course readings, a presentation, a daily field notebook, and a photo journal. There are no required pre-requisite courses, although B221 Biology Field Experience and B216 General Biology III: Ecology, Evolution and Biological Diversity are recommended.
