Join us on an adventure to support bird science conservation beyond borders! If you love tropical birds and hiking in the mountains, listen closely. Over the course of ten days, you will be exploring wildlife and the natural landscape, birding with local ornithologists, visiting national and state parks, and getting involved with local conservation efforts to protect birds and habitats in the Atlantic Forest.
