You can expect to get involved in any of the following;

• Tree Inventory: Mark, measure, and catalog tree species, providing crucial data for biodiversity analysis and forest health, especially vital for the release and monitoring of parrots.

• Garden Day: Assist in gardening, construction, and general reserve maintenance. Tasks include weeding, clearing trails, removing invasive plants, and planting native seedlings to support the ecosystem’s resilience.

• Mushroom Inventory: Explore the forest for new mushroom species, collect spore prints, and hunt for bioluminescent mushrooms during nighttime excursions.

• Bird Inventory: Actively search for bird species, documenting their presence, abundance, distribution, and seasonality. Your data will contribute to tracking local bird populations.

• Mammal Monitoring: Sort and review camera trap footage, identify mammal species, and analyze their diversity and distribution in the area.

• Fish Inventory: Classify various fish species, examine their microhabitats, and gather vital river data to support aquatic ecosystem monitoring.

• Reforestation: Assist with enriching the release center areas by planting fruit trees that will aid birds during their early release stages.

• Invasive Species Removal: Participate in clearing exotic plants and weeds, creating space for native fruit trees to thrive and ensuring the success of reforestation efforts.

Time Commitment & Working Conditions:

You’ll engage in approximately 80% of the activities mentioned, though some tasks may vary seasonally or be influenced by weather conditions. While rain is frequent in the rainforest, work continues unless severe weather conditions make it unsafe. If necessary, volunteers may be released early for their safety.

Embark on an immersive experience to advance your career in biodiversity conservation while making a real-world impact. Your contributions will help protect and restore ecosystems, promote wildlife research, and support long-term environmental stewardship efforts.
