Since our last update, we successfully completed the construction of two new cabins to host volunteers and researchers. Overlooking the Aquicuana Reserve Lake, our volunteers and researchers can stay in style and comfort. These accommodations will greatly assist our efforts to attract researchers -- allowing them to focus their energies on the work at hand, after a wonderful night’s rest. We are very grateful to everyone who helped make this a reality.
We are especially grateful to the Kay Pacha foundation as they continue to support our efforts to protect the Aquicuana Reserve. Kay Pacha will have a documentary screening of their new film on July 17th in New York City. They will also visit us in October, when we hope to construct our third cabin this year.
Our focus over the next few months will be on securing solar energy. This project will bring a much-needed sustainable energy source to the Aquicuana Reserve, allowing us to power our research station and community outreach center. With solar energy we will expand our conservation projects and increase our environmental education efforts. We’ll be running a separate fundraiser in the coming weeks to help us achieve this goal.
Exciting times ahead! Stay tuned and stay in touch.
