STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR TURTLE CONSERVATION IN PANAMA and Costa Rica

With our partner organisation, The Endangered Wildlife Trust, we have protection programmes for the giant Leatherback Turtle on the Caribbean coast in both Costa Rica and Panama. With less stringent enforcement of environmental regulations in Panama, turtles which one year have laid their eggs safely in Costa Rica, have the next been slaughtered on beaches in neighbouring Panama, so protection in both countries is of vital importance.

We are inviting applications for Field Coordinators and Research Assistants to join the conservation projects in Costa Rica and Panama for the nesting season of the critically endangered Leatherback turtle. To apply please see The Endangered Wildlife Trust.

To find out how you can volunteer to play your part in protecting these magnificent animals, please visit The Endangered Wildlife Trust website for contact details and information on availability, or alternatively contact our partner Global Vision International who can assist with discounted kit, flights and insurance etc as require. You can also contact our partner AV to visit Costa Rica, see below

Volunteering in the Cloud Forests of Western Ecuador (Santa Lucia and Junin)

Santa Lucia and Junin are two community run projects in the Choco-Andean Corridor.  Visit the stunning Cloud Forests at Santa Lucia on the western slopes of the Andes in Ecuador, or volunteer at Junin, in the Intag area of northwest Ecuador and really make a difference! For a tailor-made trip to the rainforests of Ecuador, Steppes Discovery can help you organise a visit to the western cloud forests and the Amazon, including our projects at Yachana.
