We also team up with local universities to provide opportunities for trainee teachers to carry out their practical work experience in rural villages, helping with the school curriculum, while also giving classes in environmental education developed by us and the local education authorities. This helps the students by providing funded training that otherwise would not be available, helps the local schools and communities by providing additional teaching staff, and helps our work by developing environmental knowledge and consciousness in future generations. This has also led to the publication and distribution of an environmental text book aimed at primary and secondary school students in northern Peru. The textbook, made with the Universidad Nacional Toribio Rodriguez de Mendoza de Amazonas, details local environmental problems in Amazonas and San Martin regions in the context of larger global environmental issues such as climate change, environmental contamination, deforestation and hunting. The printed textbook was freely distributed to its target audience and, as with all our publications, is available for download for free.
