On the Betary Reserve, IPBio has partnered with the Celine Animal Release Center. They're in the process of developing and constructing a center where they will rehabilitate and then set free animals that were once victims of illegal trade. We have released over a 800 birds as well as many mammals!
At this stage, they need support in the following areas:
- Collecting native fruit seeds and planting these on the Release Center's grounds: This is called forest enrichment, whereby we produce various fruit trees. Once animals are released, they have plenty of food to help ease them into the process of reintroduction into the wild.
- Inventory of fauna: We need to conduct primary research on wildlife that inhabits the area to know what species can be released at the center. Understanding the ...

I have volunteered abroad many times in Latin America. This time, I wanted to go to Brazil and stay! I have been looking for a job in conservation/environment NGO's for many years now, and over the last year, I saved up enough money in London to support me during my transition to live in Brazil while I found a job I was passionate about. I decided to volunteer again, as it has always been a great way to make contacts (friends really, but, anyways...) who know about other exciting opportunities. What inspired me was the drive to work surrounded by nature, for an NGO whose mission I truly support in Brazil.
