Follow along as a team from Chicago’s Field Museum travels to a spot deep in the Amazon rainforest in Colombia. Working with a curated team of scientists, government officials, NGO representatives, and local experts, including farmers and members of the Indigenous community, the R130 Team (30 people total) will spend three weeks at several carefully mapped out locations. The inventory groups include the Flora and Vegetation (Plant) Team, the Herpetology (Amphibian and Reptile) Team, the Mammal Team, the Fish Team, the Bird Team, and the Social Team. Chapters profile each team, campsite set up, inventory experiences, and the work of connecting with villagers. Clear photographs, captions, text boxes, and section breaks bring focus to the many details. For example, in a chapter titled “A Nighttime Trek with the Herpetology Team,” vivid descriptions make it easy to imagine the difficulty of searching for nocturnal amphibians and reptiles in a dense, dark forest with headlamps. When the team hears a group of snoring animals, they quickly climb trees for safety to avoid the razor-sharp teeth of a herd of white-lipped peccaries (similar to wild boars, but without tusks) as they awaken. Compelling text and abundant photos depict the skills and teamwork needed to perform real-world science in a complex environment.
