Research with a sense of place.
A small research facility rooted in the ecosystems of Utila Island.
A field base on northern Utila.
Kanahau Utila Research and Conservation Facility (KURCF) is an established research facility on the north side of Utila Island, Honduras. We primarily study terrestrial biodiversity and welcome volunteers and researchers from different disciplines and fields.
The facility is about two miles outside the island’s only town, surrounded by tropical broadleaf forest, a few hundred feet from the Caribbean Sea and situated at the foot of Pumpkin Hill. We are a small, dedicated team of conservation biologists.
