LIMA, PERU – NOVEMBER 7, 2015[/center]
On Sunday, November 8, Peruvian President Ollanta Humala will approve the creation of a 3.3 million-acre national park at Sierra del Divisor, protecting an immense expanse of Amazon rainforest. The new park—which is larger than Yosemite and Yellowstone National Parks combined — strategically secures the final link in a 67 million-acre Andes-Amazon Conservation Corridor, forming one of the largest contiguous blocks of protected areas in the Amazon, and is vital to protecting one of the planet’s last remaining strongholds for wildlife biodiversity and indigenous communities.

2. Fantastic!

My name is on the petition to President Humala to create the park.
Never let it be said that petitioning is futile. This is one of many
successes in environmental action alone.

Thanks, L. Coyote!

The tribe I lived with also inhabits some of the Park area.
