Amazon Volunteer Program Brazil
Description
We are a non-governmental, non-profit organization that develops and supports projects in environmental education and scientific research on biodiversity, ecology, as well as on the behaviour of species of fauna and flora of Brazilian ecosystems.
Volunteers can participate as Biodiversity Research Assistant’s and help us conduct long term inventories essential for understanding trend in wildlife patterns and monitoring the effects of climate change. These activities are done in a group and are field research activities where repetitive data collection is required to understand trends over long periods. This role is for volunteers who like to be outside and enjoy physical activity.
Projects all volunteers will participate in:
- Forest Inventory and Flora Survey
- Bird Inventory
- Fish Inventory
- Search for Bioluminescent and Fluorescent Organisms
- Mushroom Inventory
- Camera Traps for Mammals
We also have a role for photographer and videographers! To apply email: imran@ipbio.org.br or WhatsApp at +559391703119.
