VOLUNTEER RESEARCHERS NEEDED FOR WILDLIFE PROJECT IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON Do you care about the environment? Love nature? Have enthusiasm for participating in a project with a real purpose? If so, this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with experts in tropical ecology and to make a long-term contribution towards wildlife conservation in the rainforests of Peru!
Fauna Forever Tambopata is a long-term wildlife and ecotourism monitoring project based in and around the Tambopata National Reserve and Bahuaja Sonene National Park in the Amazon rainforest of south-eastern Peru. This region lies on the eastern edge of the Tropical Andes biodiversity hotspot, the richest and most diverse area on Earth. The Project runs from July 2009 to September 2010 and is offering places to volunteer researchers to help carry out wildlife monitoring. No previous research experience is required, but volunteer researchers will be expected to make a contribution to costs associated with their travel, food and accommodation. The research sites are located in some of the worlds most biodiverse rainforests, including prize-winning ecolodges run by Rainforest Expeditions (www.perunature.com) and the two oldest ecolodges and research stations in the Peruvian Amazon: the Explorers Inn (www.explorersinn.com) and Reserva Amazonica (www.reserva-amazonica.info The positions are ideal for anyone interested in gaining tropical forest fieldwork experience in ecology and wildlife monitoring. You will be trained in wildlife surveying techniques and species identification skills. Furthermore, volunteers may also be permitted to collect independent data for their own project or thesis.
