We urge educators to share the ongoing Korubo expedition—presented for the first time anywhere here on the World Wide Web—with young people in their classrooms. The story raises essential geographic questions: waterways as highways and (sometimes) lifelines, conflicts between tribal and political borders and the rights of indigenous peoples, allocation and protection of scarce natural resources. Supplement your exploration of this vital and complex region with the article “The Amazon: South America’s River Road” in the February 1995 issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.
