This month we concentrated on education work in the region with many meetings and seminars, not only in schools and colleges in the areas where we work, but also further afield in other towns and cities; including a presentation for international women’s day in which the engineer, Fanny Fernandez, gave a presentation on water conservation and Noga gave a short talk about hunting and deforestation. We also made a short film about the project which we presented at the same seminar and have since distributed to several local and regional television networks. Fanny Fernandez and Noga also gave television and radio interviews about conservation and announced the launch of the up-coming national painting competition we are hosting together with Peruvian NGO Yunkawasi.

Sam and Fanny prepared the second site for the investigation work and even managed to see a group of yellow tailed woolly monkeys one day whilst eating lunch. We also made a two day training seminar for local people interested in working with us in the investigation and as tourist guides.
