Program Overview

IPBio recently constructed a new volunteer house, and we wish to give each room a native animal’s name, such as the “Jaguar Room” or the “Hammer Frog Room”. Along with the name, which would be drawn on the door, we would like to put a painting of the animal, and then inside each room, to have a mural on the wall. This would not only make each room more welcoming but would also facilitate the organization of each room. When a new volunteer arrives, it would be as easy as saying, “You are in the Anteater room!". You can also participate in other group activities, whether these are related to research, gardening, or other projects you're interested in. Use the rainforest as your artistic muse!

Lucas MolinaBrazil · February 2021

Amazing 2 weeks

My time at the reserve was amazing. The staff were super friendly and receptive and very supportive of my work. The nature is breathtakingly beautiful and I had the opportunity to see a lot different species. Seeing the glowing mushrooms is truly a one of a kind experience. The program allows for artist to participate in eco-volunteering and was totally flexible so that I could get the best out of my time there. Recommend it!
