Individuals with specific knowledge in the field of Biology are welcome to support this program by investigating and documenting different species of flora and fauna. It is necessary to document all kinds of possible biodiversity through photos and videos to develop different teaching materials to share with the community and Peruvian and international schools. Partnering with the local city hall and professionals in charge of the natural reserve, we conduct scientific research. Then, we create a report for relevant information and findings, contributing to biodiversity conservation initiatives in the area. We also monitor physical and biological variables, preserve threatened species, and protect their ecosystems. The project involves geographically locating different ecosystems and working on the area's accessibility, research, and conservation. Our group will trek for approximately 1 hour within the jungle to reach the field site from our village and another hour to get back. Interns can stay on-site, in a cabin or hut in the middle of the jungle.
