Volunteer in a jungle project

This is an animal rescue center. They have many different animals, most of them were confiscated after detecting them in illegal trafficking. At the rescue center, you can help to take care of the animals (mainly exotic birds, but also mammals like monkeys, coatimundis, etcetera). There are also opportunities to take part in veterinary medical treatment, animal releases, and wildlife surveys, but the scheduling is irregular, so we can´t always guarantee you a spot in these programs.
The rescue center has the following projects:
*Wild Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Center (rehabilitation and reintroduction of all confiscated wild animals in the Mayan Biosphere Reserve)
*Environmental Education (offers training to the teachers of Peten, helps develop curriculum for Peten public schools and offers environmental education activities in local schools)
*Macaws Without Borders (saving the last remaining populations of scarlet macaws in Guatemala, Mexico, and Belize)

General duties of the volunteer include:
- feed the animals
- cleaning cages and food bowls
- cage improvement
Other activities such as:
- construction of cages or extra buildings
- trail maintenance
- gathering of wild foods for the animals
- research into the wild diets of the animals

In this project, you will work all day, so it's perfect to combine your volunteering with Spanish lessons in your free time, which is a nice way to improve your Spanish but also learn about the Guatemalan culture
