Robinson Botero Arias, Thomas Smith and Diego Juarez-Sanchez, all UF PhD students in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, traveled to Guatemala and gave research talks at Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala this past July.  Diego and Robinson, together with UF alumna Yasmin Quintana, and Valerie Corrado and Rony Garcia, also organized a workshop on the “ecological monitoring and management of crocodilians”.  The 3-day workshop was held at the Parque Nacional Yaxhá-Nakun-Naranjo in Petén, Guatemala, and included practitioners, local community members, field technicians, students and government representatives from Guatemala’s environmental agencies. Support for the workshop came from UF’s Wildlife Ecology and Conservation department, Florida’s Invasive Ecology lab, WCS-Guatemala, USAID Guatemala biodiversity project, the  Yaxhá-Nakun-Naranjo National Park, CONAP, and IDAEH.
