ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

For advanced Spanish speakers only!
You can contribute in developing programs aimed at biodiversity-friendly tourism and sustainable tourism development strategies as well as tools for the application of the legal framework and incentives to adopt sustainable practices.
The aim is to increase the awareness and the training of the public (individuals and community) and to address the lack of knowledge among the tourism sector, the private sector, the land-owners, and the staff of local public institutions. Activities that a volunteer can participate in are entirely dependent on motivation. Our staff will support you.
