Individuals with specific knowledge in the field of Biology are welcome to support this program by investigating and documenting different species of flora and fauna.

Amazing experience in the Peruvian Amazon!
by: Anne Pönisch - GermanyProgram: Wildlife Conservation Internship – Amazon Rainforest, PeruWhen I started volunteering for Semillas Life the organization had their main focus on educational work. I was teaching English and German, helping to set up a curriculum, training in new volunteers, organizing weekly staff meetings and preparing didactic material. Durning this work we more and more realized that we have to focus on environmental education in order approach of the local community. We started collecting trash, building trash cans for the elementary school, taking photos of local flora and fauna to use for specific didactic material and taking the students on scout field trips. These scout's trips were not only very popular and adventures, but also teaching each other more about the nature. In this way volunteers were able to learn a lot from the local children and the kids grew confidence. Because of this success Chris and the other stuff members started a cooperation with the department of conservation and investigation of biodiversity in the natural reserve of Codo de Pozuzo, Puerto Inca. This reserve is only officially existing and recognized by the state of Peru since the year 2021. Finally, the region is understanding the importance of protecting their environment. In order to due this we are looking for expert volunteers to track the biodiversity in this reserve and collect specific data. I am looking forwards to see how in future we can use the knowledge of the interns and experts and all these data and information to gain interests nationwide and internationally. Student interns can use their knowledge, but also learn more and spread the words locally and in their home countries. My work for Semillas Life was very special because I was able to build relationships with the local community, develop my own ideas, together with the group adapt our ideas and observe the grow from small project to a professional organization. I wish everyone could be part of the team and richen the organization with their little mosaic part.
