Wondering what a wildlife researcher does in the forest? Curious to see the real life scenarios of studying wild Dusky Langurs? Are you ready for a fun, exciting but dirty and challenging experience in the forest?
This is the chance for you to join my team of Langur Project Penang (LPP) for a 3 hours fieldwork session. Immerse yourself as a field researcher, as you will be guided by me or my team members through the step-by-step methods in following and observing the Dusky Langurs in their natural habitats. You will experience the journey of a LPP field researcher in:
- searching for Dusky Langurs in the wild
- observing the monkeys using binoculars
- learning the importance of rainforest
- and practise to be a citizen scientist for your own community!
By joining this experience, you are contributing to a greater cause in supporting the endeavor of local scientific community during this difficult time. In return, you will learn valuable insights from LPP team members, while discovering some hidden gems in Penang's nature.
Experience is available daily and recommended time to take my experience will be 6.45am.
