Program description: |
|
|
The Global Volunteer Network currently has volunteer opportunities through our partner organization in Ecuador. Our partner was established in July 1989, by the government of Ecuador. It is private, non-profit Ecuadorian foundation. Besides protecting ecologically important forest habitats, the foundation's biological stations are nationally and internationally recognized as leaders in the development of innovative and concrete programs in community agro-forestry, and environmental education.
Volunteers can participate in conservation, maintenance, research, and community service carried out by seven biological reserves throughout Ecuador. Ecuador is one of the most biologically and geographically diverse areas in the world, encompassing the highlands of the Andes, the Amazon rainforest and the Galapagos Islands.
The volunteer program is intended to provide practical experience for people interested in contributing to our partner's conservation activities and projects. Volunteers work on a variety of projects under the supervision of the resident researchers, environmental education instructors and administrative staff of each reserve.
