And so really what allows this to happen, what's happening here is that an indigenous guy who had a vision 30 years ago, who I've teamed up with, and then we have a few other people that have joined on and then people around the world

we're saving more animals than anywhere else on the planet.

We're coming up on, I think, 150,000 acres.

Wow.

And so the Peruvian government has said if we can get around 300,000, 350,000 acres, they'll sign it into being a national park.

They're like, we don't have the resources to do this.

But if you guys can get it done, we'll change the land designation and protect it forever.

We're almost half of the way there, you know?

And so this is huge.

I mean, you, you, you read the stories like the, be going down there at 18 years old with bare feet and a machete and walking around in my jeans with no idea what I was doing.

And then now at this point, 20 years later, running this major organization,

We had the police flying us in a Cessna days ago where my team was looking down.

JJ got to look down on the jungle.

And I mean, he said, he was like, I almost cried.

He's like, to see the jungle from the air.

This is a guy that grew up without shoes.

to see how big it is that you can look to the horizon and it doesn't end.

It's so reassuring.

It's like a big green hug.

And you go, there is still so much jungle out there and you can see the birds from above.
