Community-based conservation volunteer, Yellow-tailed Woolly Monkey Project

We are seeking volunteers to help us collect data on the critically endangered yellow-tailed woolly monkey, to participate in habitat restoration and reforestation, and to assist in improving local awareness of environmental issues through education activities in schools.

Two 6-week-long expeditions in December 2010 and january 2011 are available.

No qualifications or skills are necessary apart from a basic level of spoken Spanish, good fitness level and ability to cope with harsh working conditions and basic accommodation.

A contribution of £900 is requested from the volunteer. It excludes travel to the field site but includes accommodation, food, wages for local guides, two excursions to Kuelap and the Gocta waterfall, training and a small contribution to the running of the project.
