      <image:title>News - UAC’s Founder and Director, Chris Fagan, Recognized as Honorable “Protector of the Alto Purús National Park”</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My first visit to the area was in 2002, as part of a team of scientists advocating for the creation of a national park. Since then, we have worked hand in hand with native communities to protect this extraordinary place. While there is still much to be done, I consider the Park a success story, thanks to the combined efforts of SERNANP, park rangers—both official and volunteer—the management committee, and the communities who rely on these forests for water, food, and their lives. It is an honor to be a small part of this large effort of such critical importance for the integrity of the Amazon, dozens of local Indigenous communities, for Peru and the entire world.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Expedition team members discuss import export logistics with a local businessman who wants to use the multimodal instead of planes to import gasoline. His business proposal would reduce the cost of gasoline from 28 soles / gallon to 18 soles, a significant savings to Puerto Esperanza’s inhabitants. His proposal is hindered by the absence of officials at border crossings.</image:caption>
