Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Science is a powerful tool for learning about the world around us, because it values truth above all else, essential for allowing us to make informed decisions. Many of my students come from countries where decisions seem not so clearcut: burning rainforest for agricultural land or spewing unfiltered pollutants in the air is a matter of economic survival.

My hope is to teach them the science that protecting the environment and biodiversity is a matter of everyone's survival.

To do this, I need to attend a conference right in one of the most critical places for protecting ourselves and our planet - the Peruvian Amazon rainforest.

My Project

The Morpho Institute Alumni Conference will bring together educators from all over the world at a center for research in the Amazon rainforest. There we will learn from one another and those who live there how to teach about the Amazon. An irony of the Amazon is while it recycles more than 50% of all freshwater in the world, the people who live there don't have easy access to clean water. South America hosts more than 1/3 of the world's bird species, but people who live in the Amazon can't often get access to the eyeglasses or binoculars needed to see them. There is no better way to learn how maintaining rainforests for bird conservation can benefit people than to hear it from the inhabitants of those forests. There is no better way to construct labs for cleaning dirty water than being in the villages where it is a necessity every day.

"In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, we will understand only what we have been taught" - Baba Dioum, Senagalese forest engineer, 1968.

The rainforest is the inherited wealth of all of humanity, but it will matter only if we can convince all of humanity that it is worth saving. That’s a tall order, but with the experience of this conference, I know I can at least convince my students, and through them spread the message that we must protect the world's biodiversity and resources for all generations. Please send me to this one-of-a-kind conference so I can bring experiences to my students that I won't find anywhere else!
