Spider conservation abroad

[Jade Norman]

Hiya,
I'm looking into going abroad next year to hopefully do some sort of conservation with spiders, or observational studys.
If anyone has any links, or any ideas on how I can get round to doing this that would be great.

Thanks, Jade

Hi
If I was going to go about this I would try and volunteer my help in a national park or in another animal species, and then use my free time to look for and make some kind of tarantula study. The reason for this is because spiders don't tend to be high on the list of conservation, but as a volunteer in a national park etc you will mostly likely have almost unlimted access to the parts of the national park etc where other visitors can't go making any study alot more easier.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Chris
