While on our Amazonian adventure, Kat learned that banana plants are actually herbs! When asked about her most memorable moment she said “I will never forget when Jackie and I were showering next to each other and monkeys started approaching us. We started planning our escape tours together but luckily we didn’t have to use them” 🌱 #lpac #savetheamazon #madrededios #claylick

Meet Timothy Olson. He’s a sophomore majoring in Environmental Studies with a specification in biology. • “I learned how diverse our planet is, and how to properly learn about the wildlife around us.” • “This trip allowed us to see so many creatures that many would love to see in person. Creatures that humans can study and learn from. My favorite part of the trip was getting the ability to look out over the Amazon Rain forest and truly take in how much life I was able to be around. The major take away was learning to respect every creature that you see and to keep an eye out for amazing animals even within your own backyard.”

hey let’s talk...
