Volunteer with the Andean
Bear
Conservation Project to help save the Andean Bear from
extinction. Wildlife volunteers can help with field data
collection or
there are volunteer opportunities to teach abroad for community
education.
Conservation Volunteers
can help with radio-tracking Andean bears and searching for hair
samples for genetic analysis, all this amongst the beautiful scenery of
the Andes mountains. A great volunteer experience for keen
walkers, would-be wildlife technicians, student biologists and anyone
with an interest in the conservation of wildlife, biodiversity and the
environment. Find out how to apply
as a conservation
volunteer.
Biology Internships
- experiencing the reality of conservation biology in the field could
count as an internship if you are studying biology, environmental
science, ecology or wildlife management. Biology interns (or
those studying ecology, environmental management or similar topics) can
gain valuable field experience on a respected research project.

biology
internships on the Andean Bear Project.
Teaching Assistants

the community education aspect of conservation. Teaching
English,
environmental education or just helping out in the classroom with
whatever is needed will all make a difference. Qualified
teachers especially welcome, but anyone who speaks Spanish can help as
teachers´ assistant. Find out more
