Wildlife Conservation & Biological Monitoring of Amazon Rainforest
- Peru
- Puerto Maldonado
About Program
Since 2001, we have been studying and monitoring the local plant and wildlife communities in our private reserve, including birds, mammals, herpetofauna, and insects. Identifying the species and their habitats is vital to understand and manage the forest effectively. Volunteers assist our research team with investigations, from bird banding to installing and monitoring trail cameras. These studies provide information on species diversity and population density and also allow us to identify possible release areas for mammals and birds from our wildlife rescue centre.
The rescue centre receives many species of animals rescued from the illegal wildlife trade, for rehabilitation and re-release into the forest away from the danger of human settlements.
Come and experience a unique way of life in the rainforest whilst helping care for our animals and learning about the ecosystem.
We welcome volunteers of any age and from all walks of life, no previous experience is necessary.
