Recommendations for conservation work in the amazons?

Question

i am taking a gap year in 2009 and want to take part in a variety of conservation projects, mainly in the Amazons of Brazil, but also general travelling.

Has anyone done any projects there, or any abroad they would really reccomend.

I want to do a lot of hands on work, and love animals, so an animal sanctuary would also be great.

I only really want advise from people who have done projects, as you can never be certain.

Thanks

Hi Charlotte,

We're involved in many Renewable Energy, Self-Sustainability, RE-forestation and Animal Protection Projects. Currently we're working in Southern Mexico (Tulum), Central America (Roatan) and "may" have something this Summer in Peru.

For more info or passed projects pics and overviews go to www agua-luna com

You're welcome to join us either here on our 100% Self-Sufficient Ranch or abroad as a Sustainable Intern or Impact Team Volunteer.

In the meantime here’s some more info on our Internship Program…

We volunteer sustainable home building projects in needing countries, and offer an internship program where the interns can help out also, if you’re interested. Go to www agua-luna com if to find out more.

The Agua-Luna Internship program is open to anyone with an interest in sustainability / alternative energy and a willingness to work hard. People of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to sign up.

Internships are unpaid positions. Interns are responsible for providing their own accommodations, food, transportation, supplies, etc. or primitive camping and meals are available at no charge on-site.

During the session interns may attend any scheduled on-site workshops and seminars. Upon completion of the session interns receive a Certificate of Clean Green Building, and the new found skills of environmental construction.

Each session will start with a brief orientation meeting at the AguaLuna Visitors Center. This will include a small tour of the AguaLuna Ranch, projects and potential work sites, showing a few finished projects as well as the job site where you will show up for work at 9 am the next day.

Expect to be challenged physically and mentally, to work hard and play hard. Some have found it difficult to be away from their homes and jobs for a month. Please come prepared to support yourself for the entirety of your stay. Also, please keep in mind you will be working on a construction site.

I’d be willing to sponsor you personally, if you feel your up for it and it sounds like something you’d be interested in. feel free to visit the site for more info, you can contact me directly threw the site.

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.
