BWRC's Wild Spring Breaks

BWRC's Wild Spring Breaks | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The Belize Wildlife Referral Clinic is doing 'wild' Spring Break study abroad classes for 2014.  Sounds like a unique learning experience that is fun, and introduces Belizean culture at the same time.

 

In related news, they are also offering their Wildlife Medicine & Conservation Program courses too.  http://www.belizewildlifeclinic.org/wildlife-medicine-conservation/

 

"Spend a Wild-Spring-Break in Belize with BWRC! Great for veterinary student groups.  2014 slots available...  The Wild-Spring-Break program is an intensive program which focuses on key topics in wildlife medicine. This program also introduces wildlife rescue and rehabilitation; and wildlife conservation strategies...  Students visit wildlife and conservation organizations around Belize; and guest speakers enrich the course content with perspectives drawn from the front lines of wildlife medicine and conservation.  In between visiting field sites and classroom sessions, students enjoy recreational activities and are introduced to Belizean culture."

The Belize Wildlife Referral Clinic has a new video out that highlights the visit from the University of Florida veterinary school students.  The video shows them rehabilitating some wildlife, and then working with iguanas at the Green Iguana Conservation Project.  It also has some spectacular video from their student trips to Xunantunich, where the dueling handstands are cool, and DuPlooy's, where they had a rush cliff diving.  Daniel Velazquez did a great job on this video.

 

"The Belize Wildlife and Referral Clinic hosted University of Florida vet school students for Spring Break 2013; Wildlife Medicine, Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, Immobilization, the Experiencing the Cultures of Belize, and having lots and lots of fun!  All while learning and working in conservation in Belize!"

The Belize Wildlife Referral Clinic has a new set of veterinary students visiting for some hard core learning and some fun too.  The visited the Belize Zoo, Xunantunich, and visited Belize Bird Rescue so far.  A study vacation sounds like a win/win situation.
