While we appreciate your interest in volunteering, at this time, we are not accepting volunteers. However, there are opportunities to visit our team!

Why aren't we accepting volunteers? We have a dedicated team of local rangers and staff who play a crucial role in protecting, patrolling, and expanding our protected area in the rainforest. This approach not only safeguards the forest but also supports indigenous communities and the local economy. Consequently, we do not typically offer volunteer opportunities with our rainforest team. Volunteering without contributing financially is challenging in the rainforest, where every activity incurs costs. Even reaching our reserve, located hours away from the nearest town, involves expenses such as food, equipment, and boat maintenance. Therefore, when allocating resources, we prioritize supporting local communities. Our 'locals first' approach is integral to our success. To accomplish tasks in the rainforest, we hire locals, providing them with an alternative to logging or mining jobs and access to essential services like healthcare and childcare. We have become a sustainable source of employment for the region, which has limited economic options beyond eco-tourism.

If you're still keen on volunteering, we encourage you to consider volunteering with our partner, the Amazon Shelter.
