Conserve and reforest the Amazon rainforest, help communities to develop sustainable vegetable and fruit gardens, and improve the structures and facilities of jungle schools.

Based in the Amazon jungle of Ecuador the Amazon Conservation Project offers volunteers the opportunity to work with local communities with a variety of creative tasks and hands-on activities, helping to education jungle communities to live and prosper in harmony with their environment.

With the assistance of our volunteers, we can give local communities the tools and knowledge to allow them to build and equip new facilities in local schools to give the students the means to learn and progress.

The Amazon Conservation Project needs creative and hard-working volunteers who are keen to make a sustainable impact on jungle communities making the transition from tribal communities to modern Ecuador. Conservation is suitable for first-time and experienced volunteers looking for a true volunteering experience in South America.

Continuity is at the heart of our volunteer projects, offering a structure for both you and the communities you help. Volunteers help local community members to create vegetable and fruit gardens in schools to provide nutricious meals for the students. We believe that a healthy body makes a healthy mind (and visa versa!), and through healthy and adequate eating, purified water, and knowledge of available health care, we can help to bring this to the communities. Volunteers assist with creating and maintaining the gardens and help inform communities about available healthcare. Our work is focused on the implementing of farming techniques that conserve the Amazon, and offer families opportunities which they can implement on their own properties helping to reduce logging, allowing us to conserve and reforest. Our work in the schools gives teaches the facilities and equipment to provide a meaningful education.

Volunteering with the Amazon Conservation Project gives you the chance to put something back into the areas you visit while getting to know and understand a jungle community and allows a rare insight into how the locals really live.
