• SUCO students during the summer 2006 Primate Behavior and Conservation Field Course taught by Kim Dingess participated in various conservation initiatives in Costa Rica. At Manuel Antonio National Park, they were involved in various fund raising activities and also received a certificate for supporting the installation of an arboreal pathway, a “monkey bridge,” for the highly endangered Central American squirrel monkey. As only a few hundred are remaining, monkey bridges provide invaluable corridors for connecting their fragmented habitat.
