Manu National Park in Eastern Peru is home to one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world - and it is in danger. These photos document a month-long journey through Western Amazonia with Wake Forest University professor Miles Silman, Climate Journalist Justin Catanoso, and Photojournalist Jason Houston as a group of students learn the importance of biodiversity and the science being done to preserve it in the face of climate change.
