Thanks to our incredible supporters at\u00a0WildFF, we have been able to sustain a long term partnership with Peruvian-based, nonprofit ARCAmazon. ARCAmazon\u00a0works to find solutions that promote the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable development of the Las Piedras Watershed, which is located in the heart of Peru’s Amazon rainforest. This important watershed serves as\u00a0a physical borderline\u00a0between unsustainable\u00a0resource extraction and one of the world’s last remaining\u00a0intact rainforests. In 2015, with the help of WildFF, ARCAmazon acquired 11,000 acres\u00a0and built an ecotourism center\u00a0that has, to date, hosted over 300 international and local visitors interested in ecotourism, tropical ecology, and wildlife research.<\/p>\n
