Over the years Tamandua has had tons of awesome expeditions and encounters with wildlife, with volunteers from all over the world joining our team. Today there are thousands of acres of rainforest protected because of these expeditions, a major victory. But we still have work to do. The land we protect is only protected when we have volunteers there working and studying, and this year, 2012, marks the start of the next step. We are going to start trying to have a constant presence - that means having groups year round. This means continuing to protect the three locations we currently have, as well as the giant old growth trees, the jaguars, giant anteaters, tapirs, and massive anacondas and millions of other organisms that call them home from poaching and habitat destruction. It also will allow us to continue to work with our indigenous staff to ensure that these unique areas stay protected forever. We are taking things to the next step, and its a very exciting time!
In the next few weeks we are going to be announcing our summer expeditions dates, starting in late June we are going to be going deeper into the floating forest than ever before, and in July we are making an epic return to the Las Piedras Research Station!
More updates coming soon!
