Guardians of the Rain Forest - Mascha Kauka in Amazonia
The German publisher Mascha Kauka has joined the effort to save the world’s largest woodland eco-system with a unique project. Enlisting the aid of two indigenous tribes, she’s building an international academy in the depths of Ecuador’s rain forest. It will be a place where students from German colleges and universities can do field research work, while Indios can receive training and learn how to earn money from eco-tourism. This concept makes the indigenous peoples the guardians of their own forests - a radical alternative to the pressure they often experience to sell them off to oil and logging operations.
