Andressa Scabin's work is supporting community-led stewardship of the Amazon

Researcher, conservationist and National Geographic Explorer Andressa Scabin spends a considerable amount of time in rainforests. Last year, she logged more days in the Amazon than in her own home. She spent most months scouring the jungle for giant Amazonian River turtles and other aquatic creatures; but it's not unusual for the researcher and conservationist, who has dedicated years to the sustainable protection of tropical forests and their inhabitants.
Scabin is participating in the National Geographic Society Perpetual Planet Amazon Expedition - a two-year series of scientific studies spanning the entire Amazon River Basin, supported by Rolex as part of its Perpetual Planet initiative.
