Educator Academy in the Amazon Rainforest - Provides powerful professional development designed to transform student learning. Immersed in the Peruvian Amazon, teachers learn about this key global ecosystem while building their ability to engage students in scientific research, cross-cultural connections, and community-based conservation initiatives. Skilled Peruvian guides lead natural history exploration, in small boards, along trails, and on one of the world's most extensive canopy walkways. Professional scientists engage educators in field research and citizen science. Indigenous community members share their conversavation and sustainable development projects

Amazon Binocular Project - In partnership with the Peruvian nonprofit CONAPAC and the Club de Avustadores des Aves de Loreto, we work with Peruvian bird guides and Peruvian teachers to introduce children in small Amazonian villages to the wonder of their local birds and the need to protect their rainforest habitats. With support from North American teachers and our generous donors, we are putting binoculars into the hands of students and teachers living along the Amazon and Napo rivers in Northeastern Peru. We aim to supply teachers and students with the tools and resources they need to explore and appreciate birds. Conservation through education is out goal.
