Ecotourism and Volunteering Content The purpose of this March eBulletin is to list some of the volunteer projects you can engage in Latin America. We have focused obviously in opportunities to work in ecotourism projects, as well as in protected areas. These are just some of organisations and programs that exist, we intend to add more information frequently so please visit this webpage constantly. If you find that the websites are in Spanish look for the English version because most programs accept English speaking volunteers. We hope that this information is valuable to you, and please tell us about programs we have not included which you think are valuable for other people. Check the ecotourism section and also the recommended links. Keep in touch. Allan R. Rhodes - editor Protected Natural Areas (PNAs) At this moment we are starting to increase our content on the Parks and Protected Areas, and the information is mostly in Spanish, but will be translated shortly. Here are the protected areas that are new in our website. Every month we will be including new parks, so keep in touch for further information.
For more information about Protected Natural Areas in 21 Latin American countries visit our Guides of Parks and Protected Areas. Ecoturismolatino through the last several months has created links and supporting relations with websites and organisations promoting responsible tourism in Latin America. You can visit our Responsible Tourism section for more details. Some of the websites up to now are ResponsibleTravel.com, Sustainable Travel International, Ethical Traveler y and very recently Inka Porter Project. In this section we have included the organisations and projects with volunteering opportunities in Latin America. These are just some of the opportunities we found during this month. The listing includes the name of the organisation, country, name of the person to contact, a short description and contact information.
