Abstract

Participatory Environmental Action Research (PEAR) is one way to learn about natural resources and the environment. Expeditions that encourage participation of volunteers are approximations of PEAR. They offer opportunities for volunteers and scientists to combine efforts and share ideas about ways of understanding and creating a better world. They are a valuable means of obtaining non-formal, hands-on education about natural resources and conservation issues.
