Conservation International’s (CI) Internship Sponsored By The Trott Family Foundation seeks students interested in gaining career skills in the non-profit sector. As a leader in conservation, local capacity-building, and partnership work, Conservation International offers a unique learning platform and environment for interns to gain real-world, practical experience. We believe that developing emerging talent is an important way for CI to invest in the future and to sustain conservation goals for the benefit of humanity. Our internships are designed for committed individuals who want to serve the organization in a field and discipline needed to successfully advance our mission. We provide opportunities for future professionals and leaders to become familiar with our mission, strategy, and values and expose students to the business and management of an NGO, field work and research, and partnerships.
Conservation International China is carrying out field projects in Southwest of China. Conservation International is proposing to design and manage a freshwater conservation program in upper reaches of the Yangtze River and Mekong River. The freshwater security play important role in nowadays, especial to large city, the national government every year pay a large of money to protect freshwater source of city, but short of field demonstrations. So our project aim to develop methods and techniques to do city freshwater source conservation, the projects based on local communities, using artificial wetland to depose living and livestock waste water, at same time, we help local community develop organic agriculture improve their income and provide sustainable organic products to city, based on those field demonstrations, we summary experience and contribute to provincial and national government.
