Conservation projects

Peru Conservation ProjectPeru is one of the most bio-diverse countries in the world. There are not enough people to maintain the large areas in conservation or to educate the people about the environmental efforts. Opportunities abound for conservation projects in the Amazon Rainforest, along Peru’s coast, and in the Andean mountains. With Rustic Volunteer Travel conservation projects, volunteers/travelers have the opportunity to focus on rainforest conservation, economic development, and indigenous rights, among others. Participating in a conservation project opens tremendous avenues for volunteers/travelers to experience new activities in their lives and careers, allows volunteers to immerse themselves in another culture, and provides a positive contribution to the ecosystem.
