Our field stories provide brief and succinct summaries of research findings, fieldwork, and personal experiences. We highlight the perspectives of local residents, team members, and others who can shed light on the region through stories, research insights, and conversations with local stakeholders. We share these different types of stories in order to provide a better understanding of our core values and desire to co-produce knowledge that can help local communities make informed decisions to improve human well-being while conserving Amazonian ecosystems.
