I am leaving for the Amazon in Peru two weeks from today, June 26, and am traveling upriver on a restored historical steam boat on an Earthwatch expedition. We will be doing a census of different animals such as pink river dolphins, manatees, caimans, macaws, and monkeys, that show how healthy this part of the rainforest is. We will also meet the native Cocama Indians and learn how they are working with scientists to be able to continue hunting and fishing around their villages without hurting the rainforest food web.
