| The Global Volunteer Network offers volunteer opportunities through our partner organization in Ecuador. Volunteers have the opportunity to participate in the programs of five different biological reserves, contributing to biodiversity conservation, community development and sustainable use of natural resources.
Ecuador is a country of many geographical contrasts, from the Amazon rainforest of the Oriente and the high altitude forests of the Inter-Andean region, to the forests and beaches of the northern lowlands and the Galapagos Islands. Biological reserves are located in each of these regions.
The principal aims of the reserves are the conservation of eco-systems and cultural diversity, environmental education and sustainable development projects, and research that promotes the improvement of the quality of life of people living in the zones of influence of its activities.
