For the second time since the program was created ( first time was in January 2007), I have just returned from the field trip with students of Austin College (TX) during their Jan Term named “Brazilian Ecosystems”.
We spent almost three weeks visiting the Brazilian Savannas of Chapada dos Veadeiros, the Atlantic Rainforest of The Ribeira Valley and Lagamar and the city of São Paulo. Besides in-depth views of each environment, at the Chapada dos Veadeiros we developed socioenvironmental works with students from the “Escola do Sertão de Alto Paraíso”, resulting in a series of banners in English aimed at informing tourists who come to the National Park. A relatively simple task, but whose results are extremely important to grant proper orientation and safety for foreign visitors that come to the region in increasing numbers.
Among other institutions, the initiative was planned and supported by the board of Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, Ambiental Expedições and Travessia Ecoturismo.
My first Month’s Gallery of 2009 brings a selection of the best images captured during these works with the students.
To see the images, please click on the "MONTH'S GALLERY" icon, located on the right-side column of Fotograma’s main page. If you experience any problems, please try this alternative link.
