Since 1997, Fauna Forever has been welcoming Peruvian and international volunteers, interns, and dissertation students to the Peruvian Amazon - people who want to learn the wildlife research methods we use, people who want to assist us with day-to-day activities on our biodiversity research and forest conservation projects, and those people who want to undertake their own undergraduate or post-graduate thesis projects with the help, expertise, and supervision from our professional field staff. Opportunities are available for short or extended periods of time throughout the year and for candidates with a variety of research skill levels, financial constraints, and time considerations. Some volunteer and internship options are also free depending on the applicant, their proven level of experience, the season, and the state of our discretionary scholarship funds. However, the majority of applicants are required to pay a fee to help cover the cost of their stay with us, as our central funding is limited. These fees cover all costs associated with local transfers, food, lodging, and certain items of equipment that volunteers and interns use frequently. Personal expenses such as snacks, bottled beverages, clothes, rubber boots, etc. are not covered.
