Building housing the new virtual classroom

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your support for this project, Save rare orchids in Ecuador from deforestation! It would not be possible without people like you. We are so grateful that you have decided to become a part of Women for Conservation’s community.

I’m excited to share our latest update with you! Rangers at the Dracula reserve have made great progress on preparing the virtual classroom for use. They have been meeting regularly with local women to discuss how the classroom can best help them. The women are excited to have a space to support their children’s learning, and opportunities to get involved in orchid protection.

You can read our latest article about the project here. I hope you enjoy it!

Warmly,

Libby
