Brazil Pantanal Research and Conservation
The Pantanal is a huge land locked delta that floods annually from the tributaries of the Paraguay River. It spans over 36.5 million acres and forms one of the world’s most productive habitats to fauna in the Americas.
The floods, boosted by the tropical rains, create a giant nursery for marine life including 260 species of fish. In the dry season, the waters retreat and enormous numbers of birds and animals arrive.
The Volunteer RoleVolunteers to this project witness first hand the amazing productivity of the Pantanal and the startling amount of wildlife that live in it. You will work alongside a local University to conserve the environment and its wildlife.
Volunteers will assist with some of the following tasks:
