The objective of this project is one of ecological restoration - the process of re-establishing an ecosystem that has been degenerated, damaged or destroyed. The Jungle Conservation is located at a biological research station in the middle of the Amazonian rainforest, on the shores of the Madre de Dios river. Volunteers live and work on site, in one of the most bio-diverse forests in the world. Volunteers assist with a range of tasks including working in the greenhouse, trail maintenance, reforestation, wildlife catching, recording and researching practices, and working in the fields at a local farm. This project has a minimum duration requirement of two weeks, due to the transport time involved in getting out to its remote location.
