We are working towards a locally appropriate model of sustainable living in the rainforest of Ecuador and we need help! Our goal for ourselves is 100% food self-sufficiency within ten years. For the surrounding communities we seek economically and ecologically sustainable alternatives to logging, hunting, and cattle ranching, which are the major threats to this endangered habitat. Positions are available in three areas: - Conservation, Permaculture, & Research - Community Education - Sustainable Community Development - Permaculture Gardening Interns are encouraged to take on high-impact and dynamic projects; we are a young organization forging our path as we discover it. There is a tremendous amount of work to be done and experience to be gained for interns and for us. Above all, creativity and innovation are the bases for our intern program. Our mission, as lofty as it sounds, is to find, prepare, and join forces with the next generation of practitioners and leaders in the field of ecologically sustainable human progress.
