If you enjoy the outdoors and want to help preserve our natural wonders, consider volunteering on one of our environmental programs; from conservation projects to urban renewal, Iko Poran has partnerships with a number of NGOs and programs helping to protect Rio's stunning landscape.

Volunteer in the Tijuca Forest, the world's largest urban rain forest, on a conservation or reforestation project. Additionally, you can work on a project helping to create alternative solutions to the ever increasing environmental problems in Rio created by plastic residues, waste, and pollution.

Rio de Janeiro boasts one of the most magnificent contrasting landscapes in the world: cascading forests on massive mountains adjacent to a world class city. However, this contrast isn't always mutually beneficial, as many of Rio's treasured green spaces are damaged by urban sprawl.

As a volunteer for an environmental program, you can help to support and develop some of the most precious natural spaces, while providing alternatives to low income communities for how to dispose waste and recycle.

No prerequisite skills are necessary for environmental programs.
