Get Involved

Read on for a number of ways that people can help us with our work
without making the journey to Brazil

Volunteers and researchers from around the world have given generously of their time and expertise to help Iracambi with the work that it does. If you are unable to get involved with our project as a volunteer or researcher you can still help us move towards our goal of making conservation of the rainforest more attractive than its destruction.

Here are some ideas for ways in which you can help. There are lots of other things you could do as well.....

Our Forest Futures project allows people to get involved in a scheme which actually reforests degraded land and then places the forest under legal protection, to ensure that it remains forest forever. Much land has been cleared in the area by farmers desperately seeking ways to make a living from their land, however this is only a short term measure. Owing to the steep terrain in the area much land is really only suitable to be forest. Once cleared the land is really only useful for a very short time, and then the farmer is left with land that is useless. By adopting one of the Forest Futures plots you can help us address our twin concerns of the forest and the people of the area. You can adopt a plot of forest for US$60 by clicking here.

Our volunteers and researchers display an incredible amount of ingenuity and creativity in the work they do to achieve our mission. We are used to getting the full value out of every piece of equipment, every tool, every piece of money we have. However our work is obviously made easier, and our goals more quickly achieved if we are able to invest more in each project. If you would like to join the list of donors and make a donation to our project then you can do so through PayPal online here. You can e-mail us at iracambi@iracambi.com to get more information on our project, or to find out about other ways to make a donation - by transferring funds to our US or UK bank accounts. If you are a British taxpayer we provide a form for you to fill in which allows us to claim back the tax paid on your donation - another way we get the maximum value out of every resource.

There are many things that we need to improve facilities here, if you are unable to donate money you may be able to help us by donating items - that computer you were about to throw away because the ashtray is full, for example. We have a wish list of items that would greatly increase the capacity of the Center. If you do have any items that you could donate please do contact us to discuss how we can get the items from there to here.

Thank you very much.
