Dear Rainforest Champion,
As the rainy season comes to an end, we’re entering the most active time of the year for our research projects at Finca Las Piedras. A few months ago, we shared the exciting news that our brand-new molecular lab was being set up. It took a lot of work to get it ready, but we’re thrilled to announce that the first samples have been processed—and we’re making tremendous progress in our efforts to understand biodiversity among butterflies and moths.
This invaluable new resource will not only benefit us, but also the entire local academic community, opening doors for undergraduate students and researchers to gain crucial skills in molecular biology and DNA analysis. As we step into this new era, we’re ready to work even harder. We couldn’t do any of this without you, and for that, we are always grateful.
Geoff, Johana, and the rest of the ASA team.
