Testimonies by Groups Visiting Costa Rica
|
Some remarks by Dr. Jeff Lehman from Otterbein College on the services received:
____________________________________________________________________________ |
|
| |
“…. Services provided by Dr. Jimenez-Saa had provided us a first-hand, genuine, detailed experience of the tropics for students coming from the temperate US. In our case, this kind of trips is not a tourist trip but a trip grounded in science….. “ |
|
|
“…. Our tropical ecology course was for upper-level science majors and added a strong hands-on aspect of the study of tropical ecology that cannot be acheived through tourist-style trips or solely academic studying….” |
|
| |
“ In a 12-day trip we covered the dry forest, premountian forest, cloud forest, and wet/humid forest (great diversity in short trip) and experienced life (ethnobotany) in the wet forest with the Bribri Indian community. Several specific principles of tropical ecology were covered.” |
|
| |
“This experience adds depth and bread to the teaching of our tropical ecology course and using Humberto´s services removed the burden from the faculty member from making all the arrangements.” |
