AnthropoBiogeography
This is a novel field course proposed for the summer of 2012. The idea is to travel a 1000km stretch along the Caribbean coast of Colombia to explore the different ecosystems and the impact of difference human cultures. This landscape has everything from rain forests to corals, from deserts to snow mountain; all of it under human dominancy from different ethnic backgrounds (i.e. native indians, blacks and anglos). This particular part of Colombia is safe and a common destination for travelers worldwide.
