Volunteer for Ecocentro Danaus in Costa Rica
Basecamp International Centers asked:
They teach programs regarding the environment and native animals to local schools through educational activities and games. They also serve tourists who can come check out all the centre has to offer while learning about different species as well as about Costa Rican ecotourism. There is always much work to be done at the centre and they love the experience of sharing with international volunteers. They appreciate the help conducting tours and helping at reception, as many of the visiting tourists are English-speakers. There is also much to do to keep up the centre such as trail maintenance, collecting butterfly eggs, and feeding the birds and other animals. There are lots of plants and animals but not many people to help with all the work and upkeep.
Volunteers can help by doing following tasks:
-collecting butterfly eggs -taking care of the baby trees in the nursery -feeding butterflies and birds -conducting tours of the animals and plants -helping at reception/gift shop: taking money and telling them about the site -documenting inventories of animals -helping maintain the trails by raking etc. Other tasks that you may be requested to preform outside of your core duties: if someone is interested in helping with construction they would be welcome to.
The Specific skills that they are looking for this placement are :
Conservationist
