With a population numbering approximately 2,400, the Huaorani maintain a largely traditional lifestyle living directly in and from the rainforest. The local Yasuní National Park, which covers an immense 982,000 hectares of Amazon rainforest, 95% of which is untouched has been declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve and is one of the areas of greatest genetic diversity on the planet.

A new iPhone app makes sending vacation postcards as easy as a push of the finger.
Sydney, NSW, December 10, 2010 -- Point. Snap. Postcard. A new iPhone app makes sending vacation postcards as easy as a push of the finger. WorldNomads.com announces the WorldNomads.com Postcard App for the iPhone that’s guaranteed to secure travel memories on refrigerator doors.
Here’s how it works. Users simply download the free app from iTunes. Using the app via PayPal they purchase stamps (the cost of $2 per stamp works for delivery anywhere in the world). Users then snap a photo that is then turned into a postcard image. Type a message for the back. Add a delivery address and then submit everything electronically. The postcard is printed in the USA on real high-quality gloss paper, stamped and then sent to the address on the card anywhere in the world.
It’s that easy," explains Chris Noble, general manager of WorldNomads.com. "The cost is comparable to locally purchasing a card and postage, but without the Post Office lines!".
