Exploring the Ecology of China
June 2 - 16, 2005


Often considered a cultural Mecca, China is rising in the ranks as a 
popular natural history destination. Well established projects devoted to 
conservation of local fauna, coupled with incredible geographical features 
make China a destination not to be missed.

Join Dr. Marylin Lisowski, President of the Illinois Science Teacher's 
Association, and Dr. Bob Williams of The River's Project, as we explore the 
ecological wonders and rich cultural heritage on this 15 day exploration of 
China!
