UVic professor Ana Maria Peredo saw a new opportunity despite the pandemic to engage her Environmental Studies class with a social investment organization, the Vancouver Island
Community Investment Cooperative.
Walking along the foothills of the northern Peruvian Amazon, 14 UVic environmental studies students—along with instructors Ana Maria Peredo and Kate Turner and mentors Murdith
McLean and Frederique Apffel-Marglin—embarked on a unique learning experience this spring that wove together ecology, economy and spirituality in an Indigenous setting.
