Video 3 - Planning and Camp Life

Team member Alvaro del Campo describes the fun (and frustrations) of cutting trails and establishing campsites for the scientific teams use during the expedition. This is the first installment in a ten-part series of video reports documenting The Field Museums expedition to the Amazon lowlands.

The Museums Rapid Inventory Program brings together biological and social information to create a roadmap for practical, long-lasting, and locally-supported conservation. During October of 2008, the Museums international team of scientists led by Dr. Corine Vriesendorp surveyed the Cuyabeno-Güeppí region of the Amazon Basin, which sits at the corner where Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia meet.
