Cloud Forest Bird Banding Volunteers - Ecuador
Join Life Net Nature’s long-term avian monitoring and conservation
project in the Andes of western Ecuador, December 6-19, 2016. We have
openings for 8 volunteers on this year's team.
Life Net banding assistants help with mist-netting of birds at several banding stations and do bird surveys in the Las Tangaras Reserve, Mindo, Ecuador. Our goal is to advance scientific understanding of cloud forest avian communities, including species responses to deforestation, grazing, and climate change over time.
Reserva Las Tangaras boasts more than 25 species of hummingbird, one of the largest regional cock-of-the-rock display leks, and great numbers of Choco and Andean endemic bird species. Volunteers help set up and monitor mist nets, extract birds from nets, carry birds from nets to a banding station, and record basic ecological data. A cost-share donation of $1650 covers your transportation in Ecuador, meals, lodging during the conservation research program, reserve fees, salaries for Ecuadorian cooks and para-biologists (airfare to and from Ecuador is not included nor are hotel nights in Quito). The donation balance is used to cover stewardship costs related to operating the Las Tangaras Reserve as a cloud forest protected area for Choco wildlife.
The conservation expedition begins and ends in Quito.

The projects are funded through a combination of the volunteer program and private donations. Each project consists of a team of one coordinator, 3-month term research assistants, and short-term volunteers.
Research assistants are responsible for assisting the coordinator in all aspects of running the project, and will gain hands-on experience working with sea turtles. It is crucial that selected assistants bring a positive attitude to the project, work well within a team, be adaptable to a variety of situations, and be prepared to partake in ALL aspects of the project.

The next closing date for NERC Independent Research Fellowships is 4 October 2016. Applicants can begin submission of their proposals on the Je-S System from 1 June 2016; prior to this date, the call will not appear on the Je-S system.
Application and assessment process
In order to identify future science leaders, the assessment process will concentrate on applicants' research potential, with track record assessed in a way that is appropriate to career stage. Applicants will be expected to:
Demonstrate their research vision and philosophy and outline ways in which their research could be developed over the five year fellowship;
Explain how they will contribute to the international research area and interact with the leading international groups in their field;
Explain how they will enable the potential economic or societal benefits of their research to be realised.
In order to demonstrate a commitment to the development of NERC IRFs, the Head of Department of the host institution will be required to demonstrate:
The availability of structured institutional support, including infrastructure and facilities, funds to support research, and access to PhD students;
Support for personal development of the fellow, including mentoring, appropriate review, and training courses.
