Dear supporters of the Amazon,
As you probably remember from our last report, kids were back at Finca Las Piedras, our research and education center in Peru, for a great season of learning about mammals and the use of camera traps to study them. This annual environmental education effort reached out to more than 120 local children from rural schools and dozens of parents and teachers that joined them in this immersive learning experience. Kids were given a series of educational materials to continue their exploration of mammals back at home, and teachers received copies of the book '¿Quien Anda Ahí?' (Who Goes There?) – the main resource for this year’s project.
We are extremely happy with the results of the children’s visit to our station and couldn’t be more grateful to all of you that made it possible. A special thanks to Nat Geo explorer Carmen Chavez, who produced the book and gave us free copies for the participant schools. If you want to learn more about mammals in the Amazon (and learn some Spanish on the way!) click here to download the book for free!
With gratitude,
Geoff, Johana and all the ASA team
