Located in the Tambopata National Reserve in South America, the goal of this program is to preserve the biodiversity of this tropical rainforest by participating in the monitoring of species such as pumas, jaguars, sloths, spider monkeys and capuchins, river otters, and anacondas while immersing yourself in the stunning beauty of the Amazon.
This program can go beyond traditional volunteering: independent research is encouraged. Participants develop scientific projects with standardized data collection. By combining academic activities with practical conservation efforts, these projects can also be used for reports or university theses.
This program is available all years round.
