  Description

  Be Part of Building a Unique Eco-Lodge in the Wild Mountains of Mauritius!
  Are you passionate about nature, sustainability, and hands-on projects? Join us in the early stages of creating an eco-lodge in the heart of an indigenous forest in the Mauritian mountains! This is an opportunity to be part of something truly special—helping to lay the foundations of a project that will blend eco-tourism, conservation, and wilderness living.
  
  Why You'll Love It Here
  You'll be surrounded by untouched nature, waking up to breathtaking mountain views, fresh air. As one of the first volunteers, you'll have the chance to shape the project from the very beginning.
  When you're not working on the project, you can explore hidden waterfalls, hiking trails, and nearby beaches. Plus, I also run personalized boat excursions on the east coast, so you might get the chance to experience the stunning Mauritian lagoons and islands!
  
  Who You'll Be Working With
  Right now, it's just me (and hopefully you soon!) bringing this dream to life. I’m passionate about eco-tourism, sustainability, and creating a space where people can connect with nature in an authentic way. As the project grows, we’ll be collaborating with local builders, conservationists, and artisans, so you’ll also get to learn from the local community.

  Help

  At this stage, our main focus is on content creation, digital presence, and project management to help bring the eco-lodge and forest rehabilitation project to life. If you have skills in any of the following areas, we’d love to have you on board:
  
  📸 Media & Content Creation – Photography, videography, storytelling, and creating engaging content to share the journey of the project.
  🌍 Website Development & Social Media – Helping to build and manage a website, set up social media channels, and create a strong online presence.
  📊 Project Management & Organization – Assisting with planning, structuring tasks, coordinating efforts, and helping to establish the foundation of the project.
  
  This is a great opportunity for volunteers who are passionate about eco-tourism, sustainability, and storytelling, and who want to be involved in shaping a meaningful project from the ground up. Since the site is still in development, work will be both remote and on-location, depending on availability and needs.
  
  If you’re creative, organized, and eager to contribute to something unique, we’d love to hear from you!
