Welcome

Tropical Rainforests are the lungs of our Earth. They are the world's treasure trove of biodiversity, containing as much as 80% of the world's unique plant and animal life. To Earth Train, the tropical rainforests of the Mamoni Valley Preserve are a campus - a place to reconnect with nature and perform restoration on the natural environment and on ourselves, to support the development of leadership in a new generation that will base its economic, cultural, and spiritual survival on partnership with nature, instead of domination of it.
