UConn Students:
There is nothing better than spending winter break in a sunny climate learning about horses and biodiversity!!
We are looking for at least 2 more students to sign up to attend the field study ANSC 3693/NRE 3693 Foreign Studies in Animal Science/Natural Resources. It is a fabulous opportunity to travel to Patagonia in Chile, learnabout 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 (leaving December 26, returning January 15) to the Southernmost part of Chile. We will be camping and visiting ranches, observing wild horses, and making horse welfare suggestions as well as visiting the famous Torres del Paine National Park.
This is an Education Abroad Program! Please email jenifer.nadeau@uconn.edu or morty.ortega@uconn.edu if you would like to attend. You can also visit this site for more information about costs, etc: http://abroad.uconn.edu/program/uconn-patagonian-biodiversity-and-horse-culture-winter-faculty-led/
