BSES HQ receives expedition field updates weekly so check back every Monday to see what has happened in the week gone by.

Monday, July 27

Off to a Good Start

After a brief call into BSES HQ from the Satellite phone in the Amazon, we can report that all is well and everyone is in high spirits.

The whole group have journeyed up river to their research locations and have settled in and just begun their initial activities.

They have seen plenty of macaws and river dolphins and have just started their survey work to get a proper handle on the population and health of the ecosystemn as a whole.

Keep checking in weekly for further updates.
