Dear rainforest champions,
Another year has started here in the Peruvian Amazon while the rainy season is in full bloom! As for updates on our project activities, our environmental education efforts for the year are in the planning stages and waiting for schools to reopen in mid-March after the school holidays end. Same as last year, we will be focusing our activities on single-teacher rural schools. We hope to continue expanding the impact of our work on previous years.
As for our research project with butterflies, we are happy to announce that four new undergraduate students have been selected for this year’s research residency program. All of them are women, three Peruvians, and one Ecuadorian. We are extremely excited about the results the residency program has had so far in developing research skills for the future generation of local scientists and can’t wait to see all the progress our residents will make this year.
Thank you for your support to this project. If you want to boost your involvement in our research and education efforts, please consider becoming a monthly donor. New monthly donations (up to $200 per unique donor) will have their first donation matched at 100% by GlobalGiving after four total payments.
With gratitude,
Geoff, Johana, and all the ASA team
