Volunteer in the Ecuadorian Cloud Forest

Descriere program

Description of Program:

This program is located in the Pichinchua Province of Ecuador about 90 km from Quito. Volunteers will be situated in a biological reserve. The Cloud Forest Station is focused on conservation efforts, specifically combating deforestation, restoring degraded areas, and exploring sustainable strategies to support the surrounding environment and the local community. All nature enthusiasts including volunteers, students, researchers, and birdwatchers are welcome to explore the Biological Station.
