You will learn about tropical diversity and threats to
tropical species and ecosystems through researching and going
on two field trips. The field trips last 2 1/2hr. One is to
the Tropical section of the Sherman Gardens in Corona del Mar,
and the second is the tropical primate section of the Santa
Ana Zoo. The field trips will return a little early to give
everyone a chance to get to their next class. The class will
end with 10-min student presentations based upon a mutually
agreed upon topic dealing with the Tropics. The class meets
Mondays during the first half of the quarter. The schedule is:
April 5 1-1:50pm Orientation (50 minutes); April 12 1-3:50pm
Sherman Gardens; April 19 1-3:50pm Santa Ana Zoo; April 26 1-
3:50pm Student presentations. Barring any emergency changes to
the schedule, we should have no more meetings after April 26
but you should leave that slot open in case of changes.
