Wild Dolphins in the Suriname River
We propose you to join a 1-day tour with the Foundation Green Heritage Fund Suriname to observe the wild dolphin populations (Sotalia guianensis) in the Suriname River. This programme is the first research done in Suriname on wild dolphins. The foundation manages for the dolphin programme the funds that are obtained from donors and volunteers of the programme, so that data collection can take place on a regular basis. It is possible to join one of these trips during which data is collected at a fee. Funds that are in excess of the costs for one trip are deposited in the account of the programme, so that except for guaranteeing the continuity also simple equipment and accessories can be purchased for the programme.
