Ecuador remains one of those mystical and mysterious places that are very difficult to find in the developed world. Therefore Ecuador is the perfect destination for people who love nature and adventure.

Volunteer in one of these spectacular Ecuadorian biodiversities where you could make a real contribution and difference. Live in a world of plenty nature and enjoy it while volunteer\r\n\r\nGeneral Conservation Programs\r\n\r\nWork in the midst of the most spectacular Ecuadorian biodiversities where projects range from maintaining to research. Your help is needed in the preservation, investigation, environmental education and management of the Ecuadorian flora, fauna and landscapes. We work in collaboration with a big number of private and public reserves, National parks and NGOs throughout Ecuador (Andes, Coastal, Amazonia and Galapagos Islands). \r\n\r\nEnvironmental projects such as reforestation, agroforestry, organic and sustainable farming practices, permaculture, tree nursery, biological research, environmental education (focused to promote the protection and conservation), recuperation and regeneration of the ecosystem are available. Ecuadorian dry, cloud, rain and mangrove forest wait for you. Live in a world of plenty nature and enjoy it while volunteering. \r\n\r\nAgriculture, Organic Farm and Agroforestry Projects\r\n\r\nAll these projects are oriented to preserve the nature and the ecosystem. On the farms volunteers will find a lot of degraded areas, caused by overgrazing and inappropriate cultivation. Objective of the projects is the protection against soil erosion and nutrient loss. The Agroforestry is a combination of agriculture and forestry and it can be seen as the most sustainable land form used in the conservation. Today there is a need of organic farms or family plots. Generally, the plots are small, next to the house and contain vegetables, fruits, herbs, medicinal plants and ornamental among other but the agroforestry is used in the reserves, national parks, etc.\r\n\r\nAnimal Care\r\n\r\nThe goal of this program is to rescue, rehabilitate and relocate confiscated animals to their natural habitat. You as volunteers will feed animals and clean and repair cages. In addition, you will help to build new cages and improve existing facilities to provide more natural environment for the birds and animals. Volunteers are needed to gather food from the forest for animals in captivity, introduce the food to the animals, monitor progress, consult with the biologist, and under supervision of the biologist and centre staff, teach the animals how to eat and other behaviours they need to know in the wild. \r\nThe Rescue Centre''s aim is to save wild animals and their habitat from destruction. The project focuses on rehabilitating captive or domesticated animals, and in some cases preparing them for a reintroduction to their natural habitats.\r\n\r\nVeterinary Medicine\r\n\r\nYou can combine a veterinary placement with an animal care placement, working in a zoo, animal rehabilitation centre or animal clinic. You may be able to spend some time concentrating on the veterinary practice. Working as a veterinary volunteer, you will be involved in vaccinations, operations, laboratory work, post-mortems, meat inspections and the routine treatment of domestic farm animals and pets. These programs are available to you in Amazon Region, Machalilla National Park, Galapagos Islands, Baños, Guayabamba, Quito and many other places throughout Ecuador. \r\n\r\nInfrastructure and Construction Work\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a rewarding experience to provide decent housing for a family in need, join our Volunteer Programs in Ecuador which offers a vibrant cultural and humanitarian experience. Many Ecuadorian families live in substandard, overcrowded and unhealthy conditions. With your help, more deserving families can have decent places to call home. Help repairing fences, roofs or cabins, assistance and supporting with construction of water pipes, houses, etc. Our objectives are to help Ecuadorian families benefit from available and existent housing programs.
