“Every moment where we were surprised by something. When I was in camp reading alone in the morning I heard a branch breaking, looked up and there was an orangutan. Spending the next hour or so with my field course just admiring that creature that decided to go to camp was amazing”.

– Carolina, University of Porto, Field Course student 2025
