We’ve made it our goal to preserve the pristine Peruvian Amazon by promoting environmental awareness through environmental education coupled with hand-on field experience to passionate individuals across the globe.
I joined Panthera Sanctuary as a short-term volunteer and in addition to participating in activities and getting educated in the intrincities of Jungle (conservation) work, I also got to experience the flora and wildlife. Impactful and important work in the context of (self-)sustainability, education and conservation.
