To make knowledge about Amazonian ecology accessible to all, forming a global community of environmental defenders through scientific and engaging content.
The story of Iquitos began with a shared passion among a group of biologists and educators, united by the mission to make the complex beauty of the Amazon understandable to everyone. Our first course, launched in 2018, was a series of local workshops in Iquitos, Peru, focused on identifying bird species. The community's enthusiasm was the catalyst that led us to digitize the content and create a globally accessible platform.
Since then, we have evolved significantly. In 2020, we established partnerships with research institutions in the Amazon basin, integrating cutting-edge scientific data into our modules. In 2022, we launched our "Guardians of Biodiversity" program, which has already trained hundreds of people in practical conservation techniques. Each milestone reinforces our commitment: to use education as a fundamental tool for protecting one of the planet's most vital ecosystems.
