Madidi Travel is an institution that emerged from Eco Bolivia Foundation, creators of the Madidi National Park. (Please see the National Geographic magazine cover story on Madidi of March 2000, a story for which we were the exploratory team and which recognizes our contribution in creating Madidi National Park, the protected area with the greatest biodiversity in the world). Madidi Travel focuses on developing tourism in a way that supports conservation. Our current focus is on the consolidation of Serere, a private protected area in the north eastern part of the Madidi Mosaic. For further information please see our web page: www.madidi-travel.com - Closing Date: rolling
- Description:
Madidi Travel currently needs very motivated and committed volunteers to help consolidate Serere, a 4000 hectare area in floodplain (varzea ) rainforest, an area on the Beni river (Amazon headwaters) with four lakes, and a wide variety of eco systems, flora and fauna. The difficult work of exploring, establishing infrastructure, and protection, has advanced considerably. At this stage, with the help of good volunteers, we could make a great leap forward in consolidating services and empowering the local staff. Our staff is composed of indigenous people from the Madidi Mosaic, and some city youth which has undergone rehabilitation after traumatic youth experiences and has an opportunity to develop new skills and enjoy the healing powers of nature. Volunteers are needed for the following: 1. Translation: our staff is made up of indigenous persons from the Madidi Mosaic who have deep knowledge of the rainforest, but who do not speak foreign languages. Translators are needed to accompany our guides in the tours to help them transmit their knowledge. Translators also help our staff to learn and maintain western standards of living (sanitation, setting tables, making beds, etc.), and help provide hosting services for our guests. If the volunteer can commit for an extended period, the volunteer could also teach English to the local staff. - Applicant Requirements:
