Volunteer!
Finding Species offers volunteer opportunities in many of its own projects as well as in the projects of its Conservation Network members, including field experience in a variety of areas: nature photography, environmental education, scientific research in the field and data collection. This project is designed for individuals and groups interested in working to protect endangered species and habitats, visit beautiful places in a tropical country, and learn about life in Ecuadorian communities. It is open to all interested in contributing to work in environmental conservation and promoting best practices. Volunteers learn and develop new skills, increase their field experience and participate in activities to preserve species, their habitats, and the people who depend upon them.
The Conservation Network
Finding Species coordinates the activities of a new network of independent reserves and projects in all of the ecosystems throughout Ecuador. This network serves as a platform for the exchange of information, materials and experiences; increases efficiency in research and volunteering; and creates new ties among local groups. Moreover, the participating institutions benefit from Finding Species’ skills in photography and the promotion of their activities. From the high-mountain prairies down to the coral reefs, Finding Species is supporting conservation and sustainable development efforts at every level.
