My internship was completely focused on Bolivian river dolphin research. It was planned to participate in
a project, which should investigate the abundance and distribution of dolphins in lakes along the Mamoré
River. Unfortunately caused by organizational problems this project is postponed to next year. Therefore I
had to change my activities. Finally I participated in two river dolphin census projects, presented a
workshop and participated in an education program. In the next paragraphs each activity is discussed in
more detail. A time schedule of the activities during my internship is given in Appendix I.
