Beschreibung
Hello! I’m Misael, an Indigenous Kichwa person from the Ecuadorian Amazon. From a young age, I’ve dreamed of protecting our rivers, rainforest, and culture, a journey I began over 20 years ago. Today, I lead a project, alongside a conservation and responsible tourism initiative born out of love for our land and a desire to share it with the world.
My goal is to work in partnership with volunteers, organizations, and entities that share our commitment to environmental conservation and the strengthening of Indigenous ancestral knowledge.
This project is ideal for committed individuals with a passion for nature, permaculture, and Indigenous culture, who enjoy the outdoors and embrace an active, hands-on lifestyle. A basic level of Spanish is required. Additionally, prospective participants should be prepared to adapt to the often challenging conditions of the Amazonian climate.
