For all of our supporters I wanted to give you an update on the project to protect the Amazon. We continue with the protection of our 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres) of rainforest. And I continue with my desire to help the environment through education, but what is interesting, and to my surprise, is how social media is helping in this. I am using TikTok, which is now the worlds most popular social media platform, and all of the videos are in Spanish. The reception is incredible. We are raising awareness with people all over the world on the need to protect the Amazon and importance of sustainability at levels I never imagined. The numbers are crazy; here they are: We are posting a video every day, and all total, they have been viewed 21.5 million times. We have received 1.6 million likes and 35,600 comments. And have 273,000 followers. You can see the videos at www.tiktok.com/@yachana.com Thanks for your interest and support of Yachana, Douglas
