II. Engage the local community & schools,
III. Reforest the Ara’s habitat/ food source,
IV. Form international partnerships to protect/ conserve Ara’s around the globe.

Joining our team offers nature lovers and conservation enthusiasts a remarkable chance to immerse themselves in the world of species reintroduction, live within a jungle refuge nearby scenic beaches, and closely engage with some of Earth’s most stunning and charismatic birds.

Puerto Viejo is the closest town, 12 km down the road. While there is a lot to see and do in Puerto, we seek volunteers who enjoy nature and the solitude at times of forest living, as town is a long and at times dangerous bike ride in the dark.

Volunteers should be comfortable living somewhat off the grid, taking in the beauty of the surrounds.
集合場所 We meet the volunteer at the airport exit. Nearest airport is SJO. Nearest train or bus station is Volunteers will be picked up at the airport..
