EDUCATION AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Human development has to occur in harmony with the sustainable use of natural resources. So, making conservation feasible in the Amazon region needs to take into consideration the needs for the population living there. Through education and the quest for sustainable economic activities, it is possible to obtain results that are favorable for human development. That is why the Ecolodge employ local people whenever possible for his maintenance, construction, and guided tours.
