Gain practical experience in ecological restoration and develop a comprehensive understanding of biodiversity conservation as you live and work in one of the world's most biodiverse regions. This opportunity allows you to contribute to the fight against the climate crisis while acquiring valuable conservation knowledge and skills. Established in 1999, this organization takes a multifaceted approach to restore and protect the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest. Their projects aim to shift the perspective of local communities, making conservation and sustainable use of the rainforest more appealing than its destruction. As an intern, you will support their flagship reforestation project. This project aims to address the water shortages for local communities caused by the loss of vegetation cover whilst harnessing the power of reforestation to reduce carbon emissions in the atmosphere and reverse the impact of the climate crisis. Your tasks will include trending to seedling nurseries, strategizing planting efforts, planting trees, and monitoring growth.

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 behavior of fauna and flora of Brazilian ecosystems.

These activities are done in a group and are related to field research, wherein repetitive data collection is required to understand trends over long periods. This role is for individuals who like to be outside and enjoy physical activity. Projects all volunteers participate in: -Forest Inventory and Flora Survey -Bird Inventory -Fish Inventory -Search for Bioluminescent and Fluorescent Organisms -Mushroom Inventory -Camera Traps for Mammals We have a role for photographers and videographers as well!

Eco Caminhos is a sustainable eco farm that follows the principles of permaculture and works to produce our own food, energy, and building materials. Our international community in Brazil is located in the peaceful and stunning mountains of Nova Friburgo, Rio Janeiro. Here, we learn to co-live, co-work, evolve, and resolve our problems together. This program is meant for those who have a limited amount of time and still want to experience a sustainable and community life, and learn about bioconstruction (natural building), agroforestry (syntrophic farming), and renewable energy through hands on training. Throughout the week volunteers have free time to go sightseeing, relax, and deepen their connection with nature. Volunteers can choose to focus on permaculture or bioconstruction or have a wider experience participating in all the projects we run. It's generally a hands-on experience for three days each week and plenty of organized activities to choose from (such as Portuguese classes, outdoor activities, trekking, and mountain biking) on other days. This program doesn’t require any experience; only the motivation to learn, enjoy, and get your hands dirty.
