After days of anticipation, our final field journey for this year is finally underway. A nationwide fuel shortage had delayed our departure, but now, with the engines ready, we are setting off at last. For most of our team, this marks our fourth expedition; for Júlia, it is the very first. Over the next two days, we will travel upriver, stopping overnight in a riverside community where we will exchange ideas on cultural revitalization with local partners. The following day, we will continue our journey deeper into the rainforest, eager to reconnect, share, and work together once again. Each of us carries different goals, yet we are all guided by the same spirit of collaboration, respect for the land, and an inmense gratitude towards the Tsimane’ communities who welcome us.
