Geoversity trains biocultural leadership for conservation in Panama's critical biodiversity corridor

Geoversity operates a 2,000-hectare Mamoní Valley Preserve in Panama's Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena ecoregion, one of the world's top 25 biodiversity hotspots. Founded by Nathan Gray in 2000 at the invitation of Guna environmental leader Guillermo Archibald, the preserve began as a degraded cattle ranch where Gray reforested 80 hectares; it now functions as an off-grid research and learning station integrating Indigenous wisdom, applied science, and natural design for emerging conservation leaders.
