The Mammal
Monitoring is a part of our Eco-Volunteer role. As an Eco-Volunteer, you will
help both IPBio (Biodiversity Research Institute) and Celine (Animal Release
Center) in a range of activities which are conducted in a group. The majority
of these tasks are field activities, so this is for the volunteers who like to
be outside and enjoy physical activity.
Mammal Monitoring:
We have
various cameras which are installed in the forest and are on 24/7, so all this
data needs to be sorted. Watch the footage, identify the species and organize
the videos. This information is crucial to understand the natural competition
animals will face and will help the Animal Release Center to decide where to
release the animals.
Besides
Mammal Monitoring, we have a lot of other fun projects for which we can use
your help, including Tree Inventory,
Gardening, Tadpole Research, Mushroom Inventory and many more!
The
Betary Reserve:
The Betary Reserve is
situated about 6 kilometres from Iporanga. Iporanga is a small municipality in
the State of São Paulo, founded in 1755 on the banks of the Ribeira de Iguape
River and at the mouth of the Rio Iporanga. The name Iporanga of Tupi origin
means "beautiful river". Iporanga has around 4,300 inhabitants and a
total area of 127,700 hectares.
