Project Report | Oct 23, 2024
News from the Peruvian Amazon

By Johana Reyes-Quinteros | Project leader

Dear Amazon Champion,

For almost three years, we have been part of a program that connects research and field stations worldwide to work collaboratively. This initiative, promoted by the Organization for Biological Field Stations (OBFS), has involved us working with the Gault Nature Reserve (McGill University - Canada) and the Field Station (Hasselt University - Belgium).

A few weeks ago, representatives from both stations visited Finca Las Piedras, our research station in the Peruvian Amazon, to continue the projects we established back in 2022. One of these projects is the creation of a handbook to share our best practices in education and community engagement, and the second is a research project focused on mammal monitoring across stations.

Our time in the Peruvian Amazon was very productive, and we are almost ready to share the final version of our educational handbook at the next OBFS meeting in November 2024. We hope that our reflections and insights on the work conducted by our stations over the years will be a valuable resource for field stations across all continents. Being part of the OBFS community has opened many doors for collaboration with organizations that, like us, embrace research and education as tools for conservation.

As always, we thank you for your continuous support. Without you, we couldn't do what we do.

In solidarity,

Geoff, Johana, and all the ASA family
