*Project Amazonas* is a joint American-Peruvian NGO that focuses on humanitarian, education, research and conservation work in the Peruvian Amazon.
Each July, Project Amazonas sponsors a graduate-level course for educators based in the city of Iquitos, Peru and at one of its field sites in primary rainforest on the Mazan River. Although it is intended as an introduction to the rainforest and its relationship to modern culture, the enrollment is open, and there are also opportunities to attend as a volunteer in a reforestation and sustainable farming project. The field site is frequented by field biologists and is lauded by world-class herpetologists as among the richest in diversity.
