i-to-iVolunteer in Ecuador
Most visitors travel to Ecuador to take in the country’s natural beauty. Over half of the landscape is covered in Amazon rainforest, and this tropical country is home to great biodiversity – there’s over 1600 species of birds alone in Ecuador!
The Galapagos Islands are famous as the breeding ground for Charles Darwin’s theories on evolution, and we have placements that aim to preserve the natural habitat of this unique environment.
Volunteers are required to help long-running organizations keep the countries natural balance in check, and help to prevent non-native flora and fauna species destroy local varieties of plant.
Despite the beautiful settings, Ecuador also has huge community problems, and nearly half of the population is considered as living in poverty. By working as a community volunteer in Ecuador you can help bring enthusiasm and a positive direction to children and adults who may have had a bad start in life.
