We’re back at the Estación Biológica del Beni (EBB)! Three months ago, we began our collaboration with the Puerto Belén community, and we are delighted to return and keep building these growing relationships.
Together, we talked about plants, fungi, animals, songs, and the beautiful saraij’, the handmade cotton bags woven by women with remarkable skill and patience. We celebrated our last day with a delicious vegetarian olla común, where some people brought ingredients to cook and share.
This experience was also made possible thanks to the generosity of the guardaparques, who welcomed us and opened the doors of the station for our work.
As we prepared to leave, Sonia from the Puerto Belén community came to the station to say goodbye, carrying her baby in her arms—a tender reminder of the bonds that keep us connected across time and journeys.
