And there's, this is amazing when we reached water, cause we just plunged into this river. We were drinking. We did have some iodine tablets. We put that in our water bottles. We drank as much as we wanted to. Um, And then we had to raft for an entire day back to the place where we got picked up.

But what happened was that now we know, and this is on our river, this is where we're trying to create this corridor with jungle keepers. And now we know that some of the most ancient forest on earth is about to be destroyed. And we get back to our base, to our research station.

And it just so happens that there was a client there and he was staying in that tree house, the Alta Sanctuary tree house. And we tell him this whole story and we're drinking and we're eating and we're all sunburned and bug bitten and dehydrated and our cheeks are stuck to our skulls. And we tell him this whole story and we go, it's going to be brutal watching this dismantled.

And he goes, well, I want to help. He goes, find out how we get that land. And it hadn't really occurred to me that we could do anything about it. And this dude, this guy's name is Jay, and he said, he goes, I'll start you off. He goes, whatever the land costs, I'll give you $150,000, do a fundraiser, put it public, and try and get matching donations and talk to the loggers.

So while we set up the fundraiser, JJ, local, called up his friends who happen to own that land. His friends don't want the land. They're contracting it to loggers to get the trees out to make some money so they could just sell it off. We put it up on Instagram. We raised $150,000 in 48 hours, talked to the loggers, bought the land.

And then the craziest part is that when we went there, we physically, with all the directors of drone keepers, we went to the land and the Peruvians, the Peruvian directors sat down with the loggers and they were like, look, we own this land now. It's for conservation. We're going to save this forest. And the loggers went, that's fine, but can we still work here? And we went, what?

And we were like, yeah, you could be rangers. Yeah, you could be rangers. These dudes are over here destroying the thing they love because they have no other opportunity.
