Iracambi - Blogabond

Just arrived here at the Iracambi conservation research center in one of the few remnants of the Mata Atlántica - Atlantic Rainforest - in southeast Brazil. Unlike the FUNCEDESCRI and Yanapuma NGOs in Guatemala and Ecuador, this one works in only one community and has its headquarters there, rather than in the city.

The accommodations are here seem more comfortable than in the other communities where I worked, including good food, showers and internet access. Planning to put my software background to use on the GIS project as well as to learn about and hopefully contribute to agroforestry, environmental education and alternative income generation efforts in the community.
