Conservation

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 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.

  • Footpath construction and maintenance in nearby forest (MR: E0, L0, C0) (TY)
  • Occasional trash collection projects inside the La Gran Sabana national park (MR: E0, L0, C0) (S)
