Join us on an expedition to the Amazon Rainforest. We are planning a new expedition to do more research and investigate opportunities in the region. The Amazon rainforest is the largest tropical forest in the world. It's home to a diverse range of wildlife and being there is a great chance to explore one of Earth's most diverse ecosystems whilst also getting to know some of the amazing people who lives there.
The best thing about visiting these places is to experience life like the locals and to learn from the locals how to best preserve the environment. We're excited to share our work with you and there we will be possibilities to join us on one of our expeditions in the future. Subscribe to our newsletter or mail directly to hubert.sarnandt@impulse4dev.org to keep you updated.
The general objective of our next expedition is to see some of the main Amazonian natural and cultural environments along the Rio Solimões and Negro basins. Over night in boutique hotels, junglecamp, research base, regional boat, jungle lodge and floatinglodge.
The agenda:
Having an authentic and diverse experience, accessing the diversity and richness of Amazonian ecosystems and cultures through the perspectives of science and traditional knowledge
Exploring the nature, cultures and conservation issues in the Amazon
Looking at the opportunities and limits for the development of community-based tourism in the region
Practicing and improving the nature photography skills of the group
