La Selva is part of TEAM Network (a partnership between CI, The Wildlife Conservation Society, Missouri Botanical Garden and The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute), which collects standardized ecological data at 17 sites in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
During our time there we will be collecting data on terrestrial mammals and birds (camera traps), carbon (by collecting vegetation data), and climate.

Our team will be focusing on Carbon storage and forest plants. We will be using the TEAM Carbon calculator to investigate carbon sequestration of different forests types and ages. We will then bring theses techniques back to the classroom and complete similar studies in our temperate area of Erie, Pennsylvania.
