Ernesto Ocampo has been leading nature tours in Central America for nearly 12 years, which has allowed him to do what he loves most: learn about natural history, be immersed in engaging adventures, connect both visitors and locals with life-lasting experiences, and introduce people to the unexplored nature and authentic cultures of various places. Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Ernesto has dedicated his time to environmental education for young adults and children in a biological station he co-founded in Nicaragua. Through his work here, he has been able to promote active participation in conservation and sustainability, as well as offer the opportunity to develop empowering life skills to the next generation.

He is fundraising travel expenses to expand his knowledge of the natural world through exploration of the Amazon in Brazil, and the rainforests of Cuba and Costa Rica.
