Hard to show the scale of this old growth beauty from this shot. It takes about 4 humans, holding hands, to hug the whole trunk of this ancient yellow cedar tree.

"Why we're teaching English in the Ecuadorian Amazon | VLOG" [13:51 min]

"Apr 21, 2025
In this vlog, Adriana joins our two new volunteers, Ben and Morgan, as they get started teaching English for rural Kichwa community in the Yasuni region."

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
We are embarking on a new journey. To help protect the most biodiverse place on Earth.
Our new project, led by our own team of biologists, will aim to protect and restore rainforest in the buffer zone of the Yasuní National Park. Located in the Amazon region of Ecuador, this rainforest is home to the highest concentration of species on the planet.
We have laid the cornerstone by purchasing 209 hectares of forest that borders the national park, securing its protection and establishing a base for our project. Together with members of the local community and local experts, we will develop solutions to stop forest degradation and kick-start forest regeneration in the area."

#Rainforest ist irgendwie auch ein Rasterspiel, in dem wir ein Feld aus 3x3 Urwaldplättchen mit Tiertoken auslegen. Schönes Familienspiel mit anschaulichen Illustrationen und gutem Spielmaterial. #Brettspiele

Hauptsache #Fleisch fressen, egal ob der #Regenwald brennt...

Why Brazil, a country with 12% of the world’s fresh water, faces a water crisis:

“But it is Brazil's role as an agribusiness powerhouse that threatens the nature that provides it with so much water.”

Climate change too of course. But rainforests and natural savannah preserve the water.

#Indonesia’s government is implementing a state-run sugar and ethanol program in southern #Papua under military protection. Two million hectares of #rainforest and #Indigenous land are at risk – a significant threat to #biodiversity and local communities.

"Livestock farming is by far the leading cause of rainforest destruction, responsible for 80% of deforestation throughout the Amazon. The industry has been identified as the number one culprit of deforestation in virtually every Amazon country”.
