Field notes

Trip reports, rarity notes and species accounts written by the guides themselves, from the places they work.

• The launch of Get Your Naturalist — We are building Get Your Naturalist to make wildlife-focused travel and experiences more accessible to everyone looking to connect with nature.
• Planning a Chocó cloud-forest week — The wettest, most endemic-rich forest in the Americas is also one of the most accessible. Here is how to plan a week around Mindo.
• Expedition cruises are now on Get Your Naturalist — Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galápagos and the Amazon — 48 wildlife-first sailings from eight cruise lines, booked through an affiliated travel advisor.
• Why a naturalist guide beats a checklist tour — A great guide is not a walking field guide — they read habitat, weather, and behavior to put you on the animals a checklist never will.
