Conservation work is ideal for the hands-on, contemplative
person. Do you enjoy the outdoors? How about trying your
hand at tropical conservation? Helping to sustain
small-scale, long-term conservation projects, you will work
together with local grounds-work staff and possibly other
_small.JPG) volunteers. There is also potential for work in indigenous
communities. Conservation is a wonderful way to make
friends, get some fresh air, exercise, and help preserve
Venezuela's natural beauty.
