Ometepe Biological Station (say that five times fast)




















These are pictures of Ometepe Biological Station, a field research station that is a part of the Maderas Rainforest Conservancy. Ometepe is a field station that  seeks to "protect, conserve, manage, and learn about the flora and fauna of Nicaragua."Ometepe works with the Nicaraguan government to develop ecological and biological research centers in various locations around the country. Ometepe Biological Station offers courses year-round that provides an opportunity for students to research first-hand the natural resources and wildlife of Nicaragua, including crater lakes, cascading water, cloud forests, and white-faced capuchin monkeys...just to name a few.
