The Jungle Medicine Team has been caring for and instructing jungle skills in the tropics for 20 years. They have a wealth of experience working as medical professionals in Costa Rica, Panama, Belize, Guatamala and Borneo, providing medical cover on expeditions involving rafting, kayaking, trekking and climbing. The Outdoor Instructors draw on the skills developed over years of teaching and being taught by both American and British specialist forces, and working as guides and expedition leaders in jungle environments. Despite being an eclectic mixture they are approachable, friendly and inspirational. They aim to guide you through the course ensuring that the course is both informative and enjoyable.
Jungle Course - What to expect
This is a highly practical course that will introduce you to the jungle environment and prepare you for expedition medical work in humid and tropical climates. You will experience first hand the challenges and some of the solutions to trekking, living and providing medical support in the jungle. We teach through a combination of small group or classroom work and practical activity, with a significant emphasis on experiential learning. Whilst you do not need to be an elite athlete, an adequate level of physical fitness will ensure you get as much out of the course as possible. As a guide, you should be able to walk at least 20km carrying a 15kg pack without assistance, and repeat this on more than two successive days in one week. The terrain we will encounter is highly variable, and may involve steep climbs, river crossings, trekking in dense jungle and bush clearing using machetes.
We are unable to influence the weather. It is possible that there will be rain for many hours on most days of the course. Familiarising you with a hot and wet climate is one of the principle objectives of this course; students who are able to tolerate a degree of physical discomfort whilst maintaining a sense of humour and enthusiasm will get the most from the week.

Back in the spring, our editor Daniel Kelly took a trip to Sippo Lake in Stark County, Ohio. Park managers are studying water quality after recent sediment load reduction efforts. As a part of the study, local high schools and colleges are using the lake to create place-based learning opportunities.

To monitor the dredging sites, data buoys were outfitted with sensors for turbidity, temperature, conductivity and depth.
UNDP together with a local NGO “Ekosfera” Social – Ecological Center observed the World Environment Day. An interactive trip to the center in Gala village of Baku was organized to raise awareness on environmental protection and greening and familiarize participants with UNDP’s role in supporting the national efforts.
In the framework of the event, UNDP representatives talked about the results achieved through the joint projects implemented in Azerbaijan. Participants were informed that UNDP’s current projects on Sustainable Land and Forest Management, Summer Pasture Management, Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action for low-carbon end-use and Marine Ecosystem projects brought sustainable practices into the local managing tradition in the country.
Followed by a Q&A session, participants were given a tour of the Center, the first ecological-ethnographic and archeological reserve in Azerbaijan. This center includes an organic demonstration farm (sheep breeding, plantation of cereals, fruit trees), traditional craft workshops (carpet making and felt), organic and craft eco-product shops. Participants learned about traditional methodologies in agriculture, agro-biodiversity conservation, obtaining of naturally pure products, and had an opportunity to observe the forgotten weaving culture of carpets.
Symbolizing a deeper commitment to environmental protection, a tree planting ceremony was held at the end of the trip.
World Environment Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment.. It is hosted and commemorated annually the week of June 5.

On Saturday, April 21 sixteen students from two Newark schools launched three canoes in the Passaic River, culminating a three-month program presented by Project USE. The Boat Building Project was our first effort to combine standard curriculum (math, physics, history, etc.) and experiential learning. With almost 100 people in attendance, including families, teachers, foundation supporters, and even a Newark city councilman, the students representing North Star Academy Charter School of Newark and Link Community School floated their vessels from the edge of Riverbank Park. The event was part of a larger Earth Day celebration, and some of the students participated in a park clean up prior to the launching.
This pilot program will be replicated in schools throughout New Jersey in the coming years.
Please contact us at mbagley@projectuse.org if you are interested in implementing a Boat Building Project within your school. You can also find out more about our organization by visiting our website: www.projectuse.org

This 365 has brought something to light for me. I like to photograph people in the midst of places that I find interesting. Maybe i like the colors; the light; the architecture; the space itself. and then i like to plop myself in it. maybe i see things that way because I'm doing this self 365, or maybe i just really like spaces and this is a way for me to get both done at the same time.
