Why Join This Course with Igapó Institute?
Taking this course with Igapó Institute isn’t just about learning field techniques—it’s about being part of something bigger. As an NGO dedicated to conserving the Amazon, we don’t just study wildlife; we actively work to protect it.
Our team is on the ground, leading real conservation projects with sloths, bats, caimans, turtles, and rehabilitated wildlife. We run long-term research, support soft releases of rescued animals, and are building a multidisciplinary field station where science, conservation, and hands-on learning come together.
We also believe conservation starts with education. That’s why we work closely with local schools and communities, creating educational materials and guiding students through experiences that connect them with their environment.
By joining this course, you’ll gain practical skills, learn from experts, and see firsthand what conservation in the Amazon looks like. More importantly, you’ll be contributing to something that truly matters—protecting one of the most important ecosystems on the planet. The course is primarily practical and features lectures by professors and experts in conservation.
The course is certified and has also been pre-approved by the Society for Ecological Restoration (www.ser.org) for 10 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) for members.
