“IPE holds an annual conservation biology course for Latin Americans. This course has become sort of famous over the past few years and we've been receiving students from all over the continent. This year we had a nice group of students from Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador and Peru. As part of the course's requirements, the students have to make a presentation about their work, about what they do in their countries. I saw most of the presentations this year and it was really funny that most of them had support from IDEA WILD. I kept seeing the IDEA WILD logo in most of the presentations and I couldn't help but smile! You guys have come a long way, CONGRATULATIONS!”
