I learned about the way another nation views conservation within it's own country. It was also very interesting to see the differences between Argentina and Brazil's conservation methods. The trip was definitely worthwhile. A student - Stephen F. Austin State University View Entire Review

About
The northern jungle of Argentina is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. But its conservation is in peril. Populations of native species, jaguars in particular, are declining as a result of human activities such as habitat degradation and poaching.
But the people of this region are also struggling to survive. Unemployment and poverty are having an impact. More than 200 children died of hunger.
People and jaguars can coexist. Sustainable economic development is the solution. You are invited to join with us and be part of this comprehensive initiative.
