Environmental Conservation Volunteering
Volunteer in conservation projects in Guatemala, from rehabilitating rare species to organic coffee farming. Pre-departure Spanish lessons included.
Environmental issues in Guatemala
Guatemala is one of the most ecologically diverse countries in the world with 14 different eco-regions, from sub-tropical forests to soaring volcanoes, jungles and beaches. However, these areas face threats from over-exploitation of natural resources. Many wildlife species such as sea turtles are threatened by environmental pollution and contamination, whilst other animals such as rare birds and monkeys fall prey to poaching.
Conservation Volunteering in Guatemala
Volunteer with organisations across Guatemala from the Highlands to mountains or coastal areas. Project examples include rescue, rehabilitation and release of rare species, organic coffee farming or creating campaigns to promote recycling in schools and villages. Work alongside environmentalists, biologists and community councils to make an important contribution to Guatemala's environmental sector.
How it works
Our placement advisors will work to understand your unique goals and skills and match you with volunteer projects ranging from 2 weeks to 6 months. Project start dates are flexible.
Since Guatemala is a Spanish-speaking country, 25 x online pre-departure Spanish lessons are included. Lessons are given by experienced tutors from our school, Spanish Marks.
