The Whiting River is a transboundary river that fl The Whiting River is a transboundary river that flows from the Coast Range of British Columbia, through Alaska, before reaching the Pacific Ocean. Partially due its remote nature, it lacks the research history of some of its neighboring systems. That gap has made it the focus of new monitoring efforts that seek to better understand wildlife occupancy and movement throughout the watershed. This past June, Maggie Triska and Will Tyson of Round River Conservation Studies spent a week in Taku River Tlingit (TRT) Territory, working alongside TRT Land Guardians. Together they deployed twelve camera traps across a riparian corridor in the Whiting. The cameras will quietly document wildlife movement through the study area before the team retrieves them this September. Their findings and analysis will be shared with TRT to support ongoing stewardship efforts in the region. This project builds on more than 25 years of partnership between Round River and TRT, and is one of several on-the-land programming, community engagement, and collaborative research efforts that have been developed to support continued large landscape stewardship. This work is part of a research initiative in Northern Transboundary Watersheds, and is supported by the Wilburforce Foundation.
Our programs are not your average study abroad. Ro Our programs are not your average study abroad. Round River students live, work, and study in the field, contributing directly to the conservation efforts of our local partners while immersing themselves in the ecosystem they are researching.

The search for Vansemberuu is on! The Mongolia tea The search for Vansemberuu is on! The Mongolia team has been hard at work on the talus slopes of the Darhad Valley seeking out this endangered plant. Vansemberuu, also called snow lotus, holds medicinal and cultural significance to the communities of the Darhad Valley, but its population is threatened by poaching. Our students are part of efforts to locate and tag adult plants, ensuring their long term monitoring and ongoing conservation. While Vansemberuu surveys might be some of the most challenging fieldwork of the summer, everyone agrees - it makes up for it in views!
A camera roll full of Nepal lately… and we’re not A camera roll full of Nepal lately… and we’re not complaining! We’re thrilled to be teaming up with Biodiversity Conservation Society (BIOCOS) Nepal to support their research and community-based stewardship through our new Nepal field program. Starting Spring 2027, students will have the chance to experience the diversity of Nepal’s ecosystems while working along BIOCOS to advance research on endangered and significant species like snow leopard and Bengal tiger. Moving between high peaks and lowland floodplains, they’ll work alongside rangers and community members, building their understanding of how conservation in Nepal is achieved at the local level. 🔗 Learn more about our Nepal program at the link in our bio 📸: P.
