Dear Colleagues,
As most of you know, my wife and I accepted a position as field station
managers in the rainforests of Belize with a non-profit organization
called BFREE (Belize Foundation for Research and Environmental
Education). BFREE is located adjacent to one of the last unspoiled
places in Central America, the Bladen Nature Reserve. We currently
looking for an experienced birder to work from December through May.
The position must be filled immediately and we would ask that you review
it and forward it to any persons you think may be interested. In fact,
that is exactly how we heard about our job!!
The project title is "An Integrated Community-Based Harpy Eagle and
Avian Conservation Program for the Maya Mountains Massif". The goal of
the project is to build capacity for avian conservation in the Maya
Mountains by enhancing the links between protected areas and their
surrounding communities. The project objectives include:
1. To initiate survey and monitoring of Harpy Eagles in the Bladen
Nature Reserve (BNR) as a complement to the current on-going Belize
Harpy Eagle Reintroduction in southern Belize.
2. To initiate survey and monitoring of Neotropical migratory and
resident birds in the Bladen Nature Reserve (BNR) to provide baseline
data contributing to regional-scale bird conservation and sound
management, while providing for community-based alternative livelihood
strengthening.
3. To enhance environmental awareness of protected areas and
species through environmental education
BFREE is looking for a skilled birder that is familiar with both
neo-tropical birds and resident birds of Central America.
Responsibilities would include:
* Point counts, mist-netting, and banding
* Work with two local Belizeans who will be field technicians
* Project starts in December with 3 weeks intensive of training
(two weeks at Birds Without Borders headquarters in Belize and one week
of training with the Harpy Eagle expert of Central America at BFREE) and
runs through the end of May
* 12 days of surveys a month; some overnight camping is involved
in remote locations
* Time not spent during the surveys is personal discretion. Time
may be spent on personal research projects or having fun. Free room and
board will be available at BFREE during this time.
* Compensation will be $25US per day (12 days per month) or $300
per month plus airfare and all equipment will be provided.
Latest start date would be at the beginning of January but preferably in
December.
This is a perfect opportunity for persons interested in conducting
personal research in an area that has only had 4 birding projects ever
conducted.
We realize this short notice but this is the opportunity of a lifetime
to spend time in one of the last unspoiled intact ecosystems on this
planet. Howler monkeys will sing you to sleep each night and toucans
and parrots will wake you each morning. And if you are lucky you will
see a jaguar or two.
