our mexico expedition watch our 2019 film

A group of 23 intrepid explorers from Years 11-13 visited Mexico in July 2019 on an Operation Wallacea expedition. We slept in tents in a basic jungle camp for the first week and carried out vegetation, mammal, butterfly, herpetology (snakes and lizards) and bird surveys. We learnt jungle and camp skills and found out more about the Mayan culture. For the second week we travelled to the coast and had comfier beds in dormitory accommodation. We researched the coral reefs and learnt how to identify fish and coral. Some students dived every day, some undertook their PADI course and some snorkelled. We investigated how tourists are having an impact on the turtle population here.
