Eco-Volunteering Research | IPBio

The Eco-Volunteer Program encompasses a range of activities conducted in a group. The majority of these tasks are field activities, making this an ideal program for volunteers who like to stay outside and who enjoy physical activities such as the following. Tree Inventory: Study the biodiversity in different areas of the reserve to assess forest well-being and understand the distribution of fruit tree species for releasing rescued native birds. Garden Days: Help out in gardening, construction, or maintenance of the reserve's grounds. This is hard but rewarding work! Mushroom Inventory: We search for new species of mushrooms to identify, photograph, and collect their spore prints, which are like a mushroom's fingerprint. In addition, we conduct searches at night to find bioluminescent mushrooms lighting up the floor in an Avatar-like fashion. Mammal Monitoring via Camera Traps: We have cameras filming 24/7 in the forest, but all the data needs sorting. Volunteers are tasked with watching the footage, organizing the photos of mammals, and identifying the species. Fish Inventory: Understand the biodiversity of species in our rivers.
