Conservation Projects

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Donating binoculars, field guides, pens, pencils, medicine (such as aspirin) and second-hand clothes.

These items will be given to local communities which allow us to use trails on their properties, as well to a non-governamental organization that takes care of over two hundred children in one of the poorest areas of the greater Cuiabá.

These kids, from Ubatuba,  getting their first pairs of binoculars. October, 2009.

On the above picture, we have a young artist called Eferson, receiving a pair of binoculars from Birders’ Exchange.
Boute Expeditions had the pleasure and honor to serve as courier.
Eferson lives in a ranch on the back country of São Paulo state, more precisely along the highway between Taubaté and Ubatuba, where he has a pair of nesting Firewood Gatherers next to his house.

Boute Expeditions donated the sign shown on the picture with the hope that having Eferson receiving visits of other birdwatchers, he will pursue his career as a bird artist. The Firewood Gatherer painting on the picture was made by him.

BOUTE EXPEDITIONS has also  partnered with Optics for the Tropics to provide new binoculars for the study and conservation of birds in Brazil. Your donation of matching funds will grant one pair of binoculars for Brazilian bird conservation. Optics for the Tropics will send you the binoculars before departure so you may hand deliver to the appropriate program. Visit www.opticsforthetropics.org for more details.
