Field Projects International offers students the unique opportunity to receive hands-on training in the Peruvian Amazon. We partner with several universities to carry out a number of long-term research programs. Our primary subjects are the primates at the Los Amigos field site in the Madre de Dios region of Peru, with research topics including growth and development, life history, health and parasitology, reproduction, space use, and communication. All of our research programs contribute to the student training opportunities that we offer, especially as platforms for learning for our long-term research assistants. We specialize in teaching field research methodologies applicable to small mammal capture-and-release, parasitology and health monitoring, behavioral observation, tracking
