<p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Hello everyone:</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">(traducido al espaNol abajo)</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">As you know, I am working in Ecuador, in the province of Napo.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Ecuador is one of the countries with the highest biodiversity on Earth (research Yasuni, for example). </span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">The Ecuadorian Amazon is subject to all sort of environmental threats. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Oil companies, roads, electricity lines, are spreading fast, and most of the time not in the most environmentally friendly way you can imagine.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">What can we do? </span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Here, we thought that we can start with education. Educating ourselves about the reality here, and educating others about the reality out there.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">What can you do?</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">You can help me do this :-) :</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>The Challenge: Trekking and kayaking from GVI base camp to the Huaorani community over 5 days </strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Day 1: 8 hours of trekking in primary rainforest (trekking from the Napo River, near our base camp to Huaorani tribe territory).
