Social Impact Project for Reforestation Program Coordinator

Project Description and Impact

We are a grassroots educational and developmental platform that brings together students, professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts. Working together with the community, we strive to improve both the quality of life of local people and the overall health of the environment in the Mamoni River by developing and implementing responsible farming and conservation techniques.

We are looking for a passionate, goal-driven forester to launch our reforestation activities in the Mamoni river. The person will be in charge of collecting baseline information about the current state of the area to be restored, prepare a reforestation plan and guide a group of workers and volunteers to establish a 3.5 hectares native mixed-forest plantation.

This project is part of our goal of restoring 25 hectares of land formerly used for intensive cattle farming.

The project will have a total length of 1 month during the SUMMER of 2017.

What we look for in candidates:

Self-driven, passionate and open minded
A person with experience in the tropics
Experience to manage small groups of people
Interest in tropical restoration
Experience in agroforestry is desired
Fluent in Spanish is desired
Knowledge of GIS, mapping and drone handling is a plus
Ability to drive manual 4x4 vehicles

Great for people with agriculture and conservation skills! Interested but not the right length? Like this organization and have an idea how your skills can help? Message us at: match@movingworlds.org
