Conservation Projects

Use your creativity

Help preserve, and teach others to preserve, the beautiful Landscapes of the Gran Sabana.

Venezuelan biodiversity is among the richest in the world. It`s important to preserve and sustain these resources


Connect yourself through hands-on work to the Gran Sabana

If you enjoy the outdoors, we encourage you to try your hand at tropical conservation, a wonderful way to make friends, get some fresh air, exercise, and help preserve Venezuela's natural beauty. Help us to grow trees, vegetable and medicinal plants and promote environmental conservation at the Aldeas de Paz grounds. Conservation volunteers will help to sustain our small-scale projects together with local grounds staff and possibly other volunteers.

Make a positive impact on the environment?

Carry out environmental conservation to protect the fragile savannah ecosystem by helping us with maintaining our tree nursery and organic farming project on the Aldeas de Paz grounds. You are working in a stunning location surrounded by monkeys, toucans, parrots, butterflies and many other incredible species.

Special Initiatives

Along with our ongoing projects, special inititives can be arranged according to your interest and knowledge. Twice every year, depending on how many volunteers we are able to mobilize, we clean natural beauty spots in the Gran Sabana national park and help preserve flora and fauna in this unique and fragile savannah ecosystem. There is also potential for work in the indigenous community of Chirikayen.
