Educational Offerings

Our goal in education is to inspire curiosity and marvel at the wonders of nature in the world’s most species diverse region. We know that the experiences of nearly one thousand visitors per year have left an indelible mark in the hearts and minds of those who have personally witnessed the magnificence of eastern Ecuador’s lowland rainforest.
While we are not involved in typical tourism, we are pleased to have opportunities to receive different sorts of visitors. Recognizing that today fewer people than ever before have access to wilderness areas and therefore, less overall appreciation of nature, we wish to expose as many individuals as possible to the wonders of Yasuní so that more may understand why it should be valued, protected and maintained.
