Panthera Sanctuary serves to educate and promote biodiversity while protecting critical habitat
in the Peruvian Amazon.
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.
Key practices include:
- Habitat conservation and enhancement
- Wildlife monitoring
- Education
- Sustainable food systems and agroforestry
- Sustainable construction
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.
