With Rainforest Expeditions I have received a grant by Innóvate Perú of the Peruvian Government for innovation and science communication in Tambopata. Thanks to this grant, we were able to invite several colleagues and researchers to Tambopata and accompany them to the field. In our ‘Fieldwork in the Peruvian Amazon’ video-interview series we presented these people.
