What has it taken for us to prepare for our own participation in this research project and also to plan for sending information back to the United States from the jungle? You can find out by reading below and clicking on the images. The Amazon tropical rain forest is humid and warm year-round with chance of rain anytime. Daytime temperatures average 27-32 degrees Celsius and nighttime temperatures average 18-21 degrees Celsius. Can you figure out what this is in degrees Fahrenheit? Click here to find the formula for converting Celsius degrees to Fahrenheit degrees. You can check your answers using the automatic converter found at the bottom of the website page. We'll be living aboard a wooden river boat equipped with cabins for sleeping and showers for bathing. All of our meals will be on board the boat. We'll take day trips in small launches (boats) for short excursions into places where the river is too narrow for the river boat. We'll also be taking some jungle walks where, no doubt, we'll encounter a variety of animals, plants and insects. Our days will be spent gathering data (information) about the river dolphins; their movement patterns, social organization, behavior in relationship to the environment, and other information necessary for their protection and conservation. Once our research activities are over for the day, we will send any data we have collected along with pictures we have taken back to this website here in the United States.
