Amazon Conservation Experience in Peru
It all began with The Great Orangutan Project in Malaysian Borneo and after a number of years working with local authorities, passionate project facilitators, and hard-working volunteers to create a sustainable, progressive, and effective project - they decided to use the experiences and knowledge we had gained to expand our expertise to other projects in Asia, Africa, South and Central America and Europe! Situated on the fringe of the UNESCO-recognised Manu National Park, the Amazon Conservation Experience offers volunteers the opportunity to witness some of the most spectacular and vital biodiversity in the world. As this is one of the most important rainforests on earth, reforestation is certainly important, and you will help to create, plant, monitor and map reforestation plots. To date, volunteers have helped to turn 17 hectares of degraded land into agroforestry plots, enabling the planting of 10,000 plantains and 3000 trees!
