Our IQP group collaborated with The Batipa Field Research Station (BFRS) and Oteima University to promote academic tourism and create a sustainable business model. The group spent two weeks in the field working at Batipa and completing different research excursions. Through this process, the group decided to design an interpretive walking trail that covers various educational subjects that align with the goals of the BFRS and Oteima University. From the research collected, the group determined that information about nature preservation and restoration, indigenous life and culture, mangroves, sustainability, and modern agriculture should be included as stations along this walking trail.
