Planet Drum Foundation is seeking volunteers for its Ecological City projects in Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador for durations from a month to five months during 2016.
Work with our unique revegetation project, planting and maintaining native plants to reduce erosion and create habitats for birds and other animals. Join neighborhood efforts to learn and use ecological practices. Help in renewable energy development. Assist bioregional environmental education groups for children and adults.
A background in environmental education and activities, Spanish language speaking ability, and cooperative living experience are desirable. However, willing hands and a desire to help restore our damaged biosphere are most important.
(See www.planetdrum.org for background information and reports on activities in Eco-Ciudad Bahia.)
Benefits include almost-free accommodation in a large shared apartment, extraordinary beach and wilderness recreational activities, and opportunities to improve Spanish skills as well as experience tropical Ecuadorian culture.
Please send a description of your qualifications and interests to:

Mission Statement
Planet Drum Foundation's mission is to promote awareness of sustainable strategies for human inhabitation of the earth based on the bioregions where people live. We seek to enhance the intimate connection with life-places by spreading the ideas and activities of "living in place" through publications, workshops, formal curricula, and hands-on demonstration projects. This work is motivated by our vision of a truly sustainable world in which humans are harmonious and respectful of the natural environment.
Description

A bioregion is defined as a geographical area with coherent and interconnected plant and animal communities, and other natural characteristics (often defined by a watershed) and the cultural values that human inhabitants develop for living in harmony with these natural systems.
