Volunteer at Gandoca-Manzanillo Sea Turtle Project in Costa Rica
Monday, June 15th, 2009Association ANAI is a small non-profit organisation that was formed in 1978 to pursue what has since become known as sustainable development in Costa Rica’s Talamanca region. The staff include agronomists, foresters, biologists, economists and educators. With the exception of the three founders, the staff and the Board of Directors are all Costa Ricans. Before the phrase “sustainable development” came into fashion, ANAI was successfully pioneering strategies to help the people in Talamanca become more economically self-reliant, while preserving the area’s extraordinary rain forests and other natural wonders. ANAI and the Talamanca Initiative have been proud recipients of the United Nations Equator Prize which recognizes “extraordinary accomplishments in reducing poverty in the tropics through conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity”. Volunteers must be of age 18 or above with minimum education of high school. This placement does not need any volunteers in the month of jan,sep,oct,nov and dec. (more…)
