Stuart Timson, Director of our incredible Peruvian Conservation Project gives us the news from the Amazon Rainforest:

The heavy rains promised by the storms earlier in January never materialized and so this wet season has been relatively dry thus enabling us to work without delays over the last couple of months. With the lodge filling up to near capacity and the willingness of the volunteers to get stuck in I have been able to advance much quicker than planned. A lot has been accomplished in little time and I will try and do justice to all the hard work and the latest advances at Taricaya.

The summers are getting hotter causing droughts. The sea levels are rising as masses of glaciers melt. Every year, spring comes just a little bit sooner and is causing problems with wildlife and their natural cycles. What is causing this? Could it be what they say it is: this phenomenon called global warming? Or is it a natural cycle that the earth does? Is it the same reason why we had the Ice Age? We are advised to recycle our paper and plastic waste and to buy second-hand items from online classifieds and thrift stores. We are advised to drive gas-efficient vehicles to offset the amount of carbon emissions dispersed into our environment. No matter what the cause of global warming is, it is always wise to take the necessary precautions to limit the damage inflicted on our planet. One of those ways is to conserve water. Reservoirs and our other sources of fresh water are running low. Here are a few tips on how you can do your part to limit water consumption in the bathroom.
