Field season in Mongolia is just around the corner Field season in Mongolia is just around the corner and we’re excited to return this summer and fall 🇲🇳 The Darhad Valley is the kind of place that’s hard to forget. Tucked deep within Mongolia, it’s a sweeping landscape of forests, rivers, and high-elevation taiga that supports an incredible diversity of life. Our research here, focused on monitoring significant species like pika and snow lotus as well as camera trapping and habitat surveying, represents conservation efforts deeply rooted in partnership with the Darhad Valley community and the Ulaan Taiga Protected Areas Administration. Have you been considering working with us in Mongolia? We are encouraging all students to apply by our priority dates: March 15 for summer term and May 15 for fall semester. 📸: Grace Stein (1/2/5) & Gila Goodwin (4)
Students + 🤿 + Rio Cochrane = 137 kilos of trash?! Students + 🤿 + Rio Cochrane = 137 kilos of trash?!⁠ ⁠ Yep, you read that right! In collaboration with our partner Descubriendo Cochrane, our Patagonia students and staff pulled 137 kilos (300 lbs) of trash out of the Cochrane River. This waterway runs right past the Patagonia program’s basecamp and helping clean the river is a meaningful way for students to positively contribute to the place they call home for a semester.⁠ ⁠ Many thanks to @descubriendo.cochrane for organizing the clean up and teaching students snorkeling techniques!⁠ 📸: Gabe Kayano
There’s nothing quite like being in the bush 🐘 Ou There’s nothing quite like being in the bush 🐘 Our Botswana group has wrapped up their first weeks in the field, conducting herbivore and bird surveys in the first of several research areas they’ll study this semester. Their work will contribute to long-term wildlife monitoring efforts in the Okavango Delta and help inform our partner’s management strategies. While in the field, the cohort began building their track and scat identification skills under the expert guidance of Botswana Program Co-Director, Dix Kedikilwe. Tracking can be challenging at first, but it is a deeply rewarding process, opening up new insights into how wildlife interact with the landscape. The group is now headed to their next research area where they will continue to practice their Setswana language skills, learn camera trapping techniques, and collect further wildlife data!
This World Wildlife Day, we celebrate the wildlife This World Wildlife Day, we celebrate the wildlife species that define the landscapes where Round River works. 🌎 In every place we partner, wildlife are inextricably linked to the land and to the people who call it home. Across ecosystems, our students and staff work alongside local communities to support species-focused research and enduring, large-scale conservation efforts. Protecting wildlife isn’t just about safeguarding individual species — it’s about sustaining biodiversity, strengthening stewardship, and honoring the relationships between people and the natural world. 📸: Gabe Kayano (1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10), Doug Milek (2), Kaggie Orick (4), Sara Grillo (9) & Rebecca Waters (7) #WorldWildlifeDay
