The investigation center is the meeting point for international teams working towards the same goal: protecting this amazing environment and animals.

Furthermore Volunteers will support the development of Workshops in nearby communities and will be running them to implement the integrated marine conservation program.
Your support will help to maintain the investigation and will offer you amazing insights into the underwater world of the Pacific ocean.

This exiting project is focusing on the investigation of the Jaguar population and its behavior in their natural habitat the region of Talamanca. Special camera equipment was veloped and installed in the mountains of the investigation area. You will be handling special equipment to record the most amazing images. Through heat sensitive sensors cameras will take fantastic photos of the Felines at night. Every animal has a unique skin which in fact makes it possible to identify them individually and document their behavior and migration.

Through this work and exiting excursions into other areas with your help a huge and solid data basis will be set up which is extremely helpful and will be in educational work and as well supports the specific protection activities in the region.

The project is located on a beautiful private autonomous farm where a mixed population of indigenous groups, Costa Rican people and international researches live together. Regularly there are workshops and information events where each group welcomes you into their traditions and way of life and as much as they are very interested about you roots and traditions. This project is perfect for small groups and families that want to experience a sustainable way of living and support the described animal wildlife conservation activities.

The social program will offer you the possibility to work with children that are living under difficult circumstances or are disabled. Children homes or special education programs are looking for caring and loving helping hands in every day work. Here you will have the opportunity to support the professional staff in all areas e.g. organization of excursions, manual work, physical education, creative art or English classes. On top you will help to hand out their food during lunch time. You will contribute to help with their exercise or you can develop your own creative or environmental projects with the kids!

In the afternoon the children will need your support doing their homework and a lot of children receive personalized study programs from our Volunteers to strengthen their reading and writing skills or to teach them English, German, art, sports or music in which you will play a crucial role and make a huge difference. There is always a need for self-motivated, active and creative Volunteers in these projects. All our partner programs are carefully chosen and your support will be highly appreciated and you will feel how rewarding this program is for you.

Education projects focus on the development to raise environmental awareness amongst children and communities as well as their ability to take further practical steps to save and improve the environment they live in. Our projects focus on the professional exchange of ideas and concepts with organizations and institutions that are involved in local environmental protection . Therefore we are preparing and undertaking workshops within various environmental issues using improved methodologies to achieve continuous participation in conservation for each group.

Our projects are integrated in a large concept of educational work mostly in the area of the OSA Peninsula. Topics like conservation and rainforest protection are always playing a very important part in all workshops or events in every school or community. Focusing on the youth we try to awake their interest for this amazing eco-system they are surrounded by and motivate them to get involved in supporting us to protect their future. This means we plan and execute workshops where even the youngest can add their creativity and learn e.g. how to recycle paper or how to reuse organic waste.



You will be involved in all kind of activities to realize the above and additionally you will have the chance to plan and put own creative educational or environmental projects into practice during your participation period.
