Think Green
GIGA III will address issues such as conservation genomics and endangered species on a delicate Caribbean island. We encourage participants who fly to Curaçao (as most of us will) to consider paying their carbon offsets and to make as many green choices as possible while planning and during their visit to Curaçao.
