We just finished our 10th annual \u201cField Course in Conservation Biology & Global Health\u201d with our\u00a0long-time\u00a0colleague\u00a0Dr. Dilip Chetry and his staff at Aaranyak\u2019s Gibbon Conservation Centre, located in the Hoollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary in Assam, India.\u00a0 A 21-square-kilometer fragment surrounded by tea plantations, this small protected forest is home to seven primate species including Hoolock Gibbons, Capped Langurs, Slow Loris, Stumptail macaques, Pigtail macaques, Assamese macaques, and Rhesus macaques, as well as elephants and leopards.<\/p>\n

We had 16 participants representing seven institutions in Northeast India, including undergrads, master\u2019s and Ph.D. students, two young veterinarians, and a lab technician at a public health facility in the area (who now wants to learn more about conservation so he can help his village be more proactive in sustainable management of the wildlife populations).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One interesting observation to mention \u2014 I was giving a lecture about camera trapping techniques and showed a video of some previous participants from our field courses working with the camera traps. One of our current undergraduate students got a shocked look on her face and stopped me mid-sentence to say that one of the men in the video is her advisor.\u00a0He was a student in our 2013 field course, and he now teaches at Assam University \u2014 and serves as her supervisor! We see this more and more as the years go on.<\/p>\n
