VOLUNTEER RESEARCHERS NEEDED FOR WILDLIFE PROJECT IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON

Do you care about the environment? Love nature? Have enthusiasm for
participating in a project with a real purpose? If so, this could be a once
in a lifetime opportunity to work with experts in tropical ecology and to
make a long-term contribution towards wildlife conservation in the
rainforests of Peru!

Fauna Forever Tambopata is a long-term wildlife and ecotourism monitoring
project based in and around the Tambopata National Reserve and Bahuaja
Sonene National Park in the Amazon rainforest of south-eastern Peru. This
region lies on the eastern edge of the Tropical Andes biodiversity hotspot,
the richest and most diverse area on Earth.

The Project runs from July 2009 to September 2010 and is offering places to
volunteer researchers to help carry out wildlife monitoring. No previous
research experience is required, but volunteer researchers will be expected
to make a contribution to costs associated with their travel, food and
accommodation.

The research sites are located in some of the world's most biodiverse
rainforests, including prize-winning ecolodges run by Rainforest Expeditions
(www.perunature.com) and the two oldest ecolodges and research stations in
the Peruvian Amazon: the Explorers Inn (www.explorersinn.com) and Reserva
Amazonica (www.reserva-amazonica.info

The positions are ideal for anyone interested in gaining tropical forest
fieldwork experience in ecology and wildlife monitoring. You will be trained
in wildlife surveying techniques and species identification skills.
Furthermore, volunteers may also be permitted to collect independent data
for their own project or thesis.
