One will discuss the use of medicinal plants from the area. Another will be a photographic catalogue of the region's flora and fauna. The GAI Selva reserve contains some of the area's only remaining virgin rainforest and is home to numerous species of plant, animal and insect life. Medicinal plant life abounds. The forest is home to monkeys, tapirs, capibaras, wild pigs and jaguars.
Treetops sound with the calls of parrots and macaws of every color.
In addition, GAI receives and cares for injured and displaced animals. To participate, students must be 18 or older and in excellent health. Enrollment is limited to ten.
