Hi OB folks,
I am a member of the OCA and I wanted to share this announcement with you, if anyone were interested. It's from Peter Tobias.

Joe Meisel and Catherine Woodward, directors of the CEIBA Foundation for Tropical Conservation, are running a course on tropical ecology. They take their students to the Galapagos each spring. They say that there are 8 empty spaces on their trip in March. Ron Kaufmann, one of OCA’s directors, went on this trip in 2008 and returned with a huge grin on his face. CEIBA is a partner with OCA in working to save orchid habitat in Ecuador. Joe says:

… we have 8 spaces available on a boat to the Galapagos from March 25 to April 1, each one runs just under $2000 for the week, plus $400 airfare from the mainland, plus $100 park fee. Interested? Otherwise, will you please pass this info to anyone who might want to go? We are on the hook for these remaining spots, so working hard to find people to fill them.
