About the workproject

We need 5 volunteers

My name is Antonio Rivadeneira and I am 39 years old.
I am an eco-tour operator in Morona Santiago Province. I decided that my organization needs to offer eco-tours only. So I started to seek for small and big natural sites, gardens and backyards where to reforest or conserve for making these places attractions for visitors that want to live memorable experiences in the Amazonian of Ecuador.
I dedicate my time to monitor birds in the areas that make an attraction for birding along the road E45 in the Ecuadorian Amazon. I am paying more attention to gardens and backyards that show a great presence of species of birds.
People who come to visit the places where I am investigating and registering birds can enjoy nature and many landscapes and help me with the registration work of birds. Also my guests can arrange ecological feeders together with me.
I offer comfortable accomodations that combined with sincere friendship a lovely atmosphere is lived.
Part of my job is to arrange ecological feeders for birds on the farms and natural places and sharing the message of importance of wildlife conservation. I don't do this for profit but for my passion for birds. I get funds from teaching of English and cooperation for arranging birding sites in the countryside of many towns of Morona Santiago.
