[camera focus adjusting] man: we're in madre de dios, and this is an area that until recently has been pristine forests and a small town really close to the triple border between peru, bolivia, and brazil. starting in the early 2000s, there was a plan to build a major highway moving products from brazil over the andes to the ports in the pacific for exports to places like china. that changed the face of madre de dios. it connected the city of puerto maldonado with the city of cusco in the andes. that voyage used to take about two weeks in the rainy season. now it takes about 6 hours. the price of gold started to rise, and in 2008, it skyrocketed. and that created an unprecedented gold boom for tens of thousands of miners, who came from mainly the andes into dre de dios and started to take the forest apart. some of the most dense and biodiverse rain forests in the world. so la pampa is an area next to the highway. about 5 years ago, this was a place that was a couple miners, a couple t

that is just part of who we are at the gates foundation. i will say that there's been a lot of pre-covid -- a lot of questions about measurement and the forms of measurement, standardized tests and how they tie to accountability. you know, we've been listening to that. and really as just part of this ongoing dialogue and effort to engage communities, to hear, to really unpack this a bit. and to be true to our belief that we believe in data, and measurement, and the types of constructs that help us get important information about our education system, whether that's formative or summative tests or teacher surveys, et cetera, and try to unpack that from -- so then what do you do with that information and how does that get tied to policy actions? which i think there's a lot of energy and a lot of polarization in our country about. this idea that you take this information, and you tie high stakes accountability to it. so we're taking the opportunity and the time to say, look, we really need to continue to have measurement data, and to get the i
