    Class will meet for one hour for the last 8-weeks of the Fall 2015 semester, learning about the ecology and biodiversity of Patagonia and

      how it has been affected by the livestock industry with special emphasis on the horse.  Then we will travel during the winter-break

    horse welfare suggestions as well as visiting the famous Torres del Paine National Park. This is an Education Abroad Program!
