The lecture series will continue throughout the week but on the remaining days the lectures will be given straight after lunch when it is normally toom hot to be doing fieldwork. That first evening the groups will be split into 5 teams. The camp is designed for 30 volunteers plus staff at a time so there will be around 6 people in each group depending on the exact numbers on site. There are 5 different activities: forest structure, butterflies, moths & beetles, amphibians & reptiles, birds and primates & mammals and each of the teams will spend one day on each of the activities and will rotate between them over the week. Table 1 shows the suggested schedule. The surveys are all run along the 3km transects shown in figure 2 (above) Table 1 Indicative timetable for the first week. Note there may be changes to this itinerary – depending on fitness of students, weather conditions or operational issues on site and the exact order of activities throughout the week may differ from the proposed timetable below.
