Hi,
I'm a final year Zoology undergraduate, and after seeing some funding available for conservation expeditions, my friends and I decided to organise our own!
We're going (we hope) to Tobago, in the Caribbean, to work on disease in stream based frogs.
As part of the application, I have to do a risk assessment, which I'm struggling with a bit!
We're going to go in July/August, which I know is the rainy season. Tobago doesnt normally get hit by hurricanes, but it will get the rain.
We're going to be working in (small) streams in upland forest areas, so there's a risk of streams bursting their banks, and of landslides too I guess, but I have no idea what is the right way to describe and deal with these risks, if there are any other things I should consider, and how much of a risk they are.
If anyone can help me, I'd much appreciate it.
