DANTA Tropical Biology and Conservation Field Courses in Costa Rica
We are pleased to announce our 2025 field courses in tropical biology. Our courses are intended for undergraduates or early graduate level students who have a keen interest in tropical ecosystems and conservation but have little or no experience of working in a tropical environment. Participants may enroll on either a credit or non-credit basis.
As much of our advertising is done by word-of-mouth, we encourage you to spread the word by forwarding this information to students or friends who may be interested in our programs.
For more information, please visit our website at www.danta.info and/or email conservation@danta.email. For an alumni perspective on our programs, please see our blog DANTAisms - http://dantablog.wordpress.com/ [dantablog.wordpress.com].

Applications Open: Summer Programs for Students
Hello,
We are excited to announce that applications for our two summer pathways programs are open! Please forward this information on to any students who may be interested. We have opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students.
The Environmental Fellows Program (EFP) at the Yale School of the Environment (YSE) is a 12-week paid summer fellowship opportunity that seeks to diversify the environmental field by cultivating the career aspirations of master’s and doctoral students from historically underrepresented groups by connecting students to work opportunities in environmental nonprofits, grantmakers, and government sectors.
The Yale Conservation Scholars—Early Leadership Initiative (YCS-ELI) is a paid summer program for undergraduates from diverse backgrounds, focusing on those historically underrepresented in environmental institutions. The program places scholars in environmental internships primarily in the Northeast U.S. region, including but not limited to Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C.
Candidates of any identity and background are welcome to apply.
The priority application deadline is Sunday, December 8, at 11:59 p.m. EST. Applications received by this date will receive priority review. The application closes on January 7th, 2025, at 11:59 EST!
The flyer for Yale Conservation Scholars – Early Leadership Initiative can be found linked here.
