Life Net Nature seeks a fit, mature in character couple (or pair of friends, relations) with a solid history of working and living together.

The couple lives at Reserva Las Tangaras for a 165-day contract (an Ecuadorian 90-day tourist Visa plus extension, with 2 weeks leeway after the contract). Reserva Las Tangaras (RLT) is a 51-hectare montane forest protected area located near the town of Mindo. It is a wilderness setting with mainly hike-in access. Endemic and endangered species are protected on the property with more than 350 bird species, spectacled bear, and white-fronted capuchin monkey.
RLT receives bird-watchers, nature enthusiasts, photographers, and tropical biology researchers and students. Entry, overnight, and guided tour fees sustain the reserve, and support the couple’s monthly stipend. New stewards overlap with out-going stewards for 3 days of training or are trained by Life Net Nature Co-Director, Dr. Dusti Becker.
