    Description

    SALVA TU SELVA

    We are looking for volunteers who are eager to get involved in hands-on conservation and community projects. Your help could include activities such as:

    Supporting reforestation and restoration of degraded areas.

    Assisting with sustainable community infrastructure.

    Participating in environmental education and workshops with local communities.

    Helping with day-to-day project tasks that keep our initiatives running smoothly.

    Participating in forest care and patrols, helping protect the rainforest from illegal activities and ensuring the health of the ecosystem.

    Monitoring wildlife and supporting the conservation of endangered species, contributing directly to the protection of biodiversity.

    We are looking for people who are adaptable, proactive, and ready to learn, who want to make a tangible impact while experiencing life in the rainforest. No prior experience is required—what matters is your willingness to work with respect, curiosity, and commitment to the community and the environment.

    This is a fully voluntary opportunity :)
