ABSTRACT
 

In the heart of the Amazon, where biodiversity and culture intertwine, river dolphins serve as sentinels of environmental health and symbols of resilience. In this captivating session, Dr. Fernando Trujillo, National Geographic Explorer and 2024 Rolex Explorer of the Year, shares his extraordinary journey of over four decades working to protect these endangered species and their fragile ecosystems.

Through powerful storytelling, scientific insight, and community collaboration, Dr. Trujillo reveals how conservation is not just a scientific endeavor but a human one, rooted in education, empathy, and cross-cultural dialogue. Participants will discover how environmental narratives can be integrated into language learning to foster global citizenship, critical thinking, and real-world relevance in the classroom.

Join us to explore how the Amazon’s river dolphins can inspire a new generation of learners to care, communicate, and take action for our planet.
