The Eco-Volunteer Program encompasses a range of activities conducted in a group. The majority of these tasks are field activities, making this an ideal program for volunteers who like to stay outside and who enjoy physical activities such as the following. Tree Inventory: Study the biodiversity in different areas of the reserve to assess forest well-being and understand the distribution of fruit tree species for releasing rescued native birds.

Inventory and naturehelp at the Amazon
by: Alexandra Staab - GermanyProgram: Eco-Volunteering Research | IPBioNice leaders, nice group - work at the brazilian Amazon. Half day working in form of bird- mushroom- and fishinventorys and a nightwalk one time a week. Sometimes cleaning the beach, making soil and planting at the beach. Everywhere it is possible to see nice animals... After the work free time to relax at the house with pool or walking to the beach or photographing... The weekend is free - free to make excursions, painting, to do things what you want or only relaxing.
