Program Overview

We are a non-governmental, non-profit organization that develops and supports projects in environmental education and scientific research on biodiversity, ecology, as well as on the behaviour of species of fauna and flora of Brazilian ecosystems.

IPBio needs support developing its existing website as well as creating a new website for eco-tourism so we are looking for people who already have web design skill set to bring this to reality.

However, we do not expect you to stay on a computer all day! Volunteers can also participate as Biodiversity Research Assistant and help us conduct long term inventories essential for understanding trend in wildlife patterns and monitoring the effects of climate change. These activities are done in a group and are field research activities where repetitive data collection is required to understand trends over long periods. This role is for volunteers who like to be outside and enjoy physical activity.
