Programa de Voluntariado de la Reserva Inty Llacta


Se necesitan voluntarios para trabajar en un programa de restauración de
ecosistemas del Bosque Nuboso en la Reserva Inty Llacta ubicada en el
Norocidente de Ecuador. La degradación de ecosistemas y la deforestación
constituyen una de las principales causas de pérdida de biodiversidad,
disminución en calidad y cantidad del recurso hídrico y pérdida del suelo.
Es por esta razón, que se hace necesario promover la restauración de
ecosistemas degradados por acciones antrópicas, mediante la activación de
procesos de sucesión natural y recuperación de la biodiversidad. El programa
consiste en la realización de diversas actividades  y técnicas relacionadas
con restauración de ecosistemas, agroforesteria y permacultura. Los
voluntarios deberán aportar con 10 dólares diarios para cubrir los gatos de
hospedaje y alimentación. Fecha de inicio: 20 de abril del 2006. Las
personas interesadas deberán enviar su currículo y una carta de interés a
Nina Duarte (duarte_silv@...) o Manuela Arcos (sinariz@...) y en
seguida, le enviaremos el protocolo del programa con todas las actividades y

Solicito PASANTE DE CAMPO interesado en
trabajar a 3150 msnm, en temas relacionados con las interacciones
entre tuco-tucos (Ctenomys) y reptiles y artrópodos del lugar. El
trabajo se realiza dentro de una reserva privada, en la provincia de
San Juan, Argentina.
Los interesados pueden enviarme el curriculum breve y
una carta de intensión para conocer su interés en el tema y en
el trabajo.

La salida de campo será en MARZO DE 2006, del 20 al 26.

Es muy importante la buena predisposición para trabajar en el campo,
durante varias horas. En el lugar se cuenta con agua caliente, luz,
gas y camas.
Es ambiente de montaña, por lo que la temperatura puede ser inferior
a los 0ºC. Por tal motivo es importante contar con ropa abrigada y
buena bolsa de dormir.
SE SALE DESDE LA PROVINCIA DE MENDOZA y se arriba a la misma a la
finalización del trabajo. Esta pasantía sólo cubre gastos de comida
y alojamiento, pero no de pasajes hasta Mendoza (el pasaje desde
Mendoza ha San Juan sí está incluído).
En total ya han viajado conmigo 6 estudiantes, de distintas
provincias. Si te interesa puedo contactarte con alguno de ellos
para que te comente la experiencia. El lugar es muy bello (si te
gusta la montaña).

Si estás interesado/a, escribime a natyborruel@..., colocando
en el asunto "Pasantía para  MARZO 2006"

El Programa Canon para Investigadores Científicos de Parques Nacionales otorga oportunidades a estudiantes de doctorado para competir por fondos de apoyo a sus trabajos de investigación en parques nacionales. Esta iniciativa busca incrementar el conocimiento del programa entre estudiantes de doctorado, organizaciones relevantes y profesionales de México, América Central, Sur América y el Caribe para la convocatoria del año 2006.

El Programa Canon para Investigadores Científicos de Parques Nacionales es fruto de la colaboración entre Canon U.S.A., Inc., la Asociación Americana para el Avance de la Ciencia y el Servicio de Parques Nacionales de los Estados Unidos. Gracias a la generosa contribución de Canon U.S.A., Inc., el programa concederá ocho becas de 80.000 dólares cada una a estudiantes de doctorado de las Américas que realicen investigaciones clave para la conservación de los parques nacionales de la región.

Desde el año 2002, nueve (9) estudiantes de doctorado provenientes de México, América Central, América del Sur y el Caribe, han sido favorecidos por este Programa, desarrollando excelentes trabajos de investigación en parques nacionales. Nuevas oportunidades se presentan para el 2006 para apoyar la investigación en ciencias biológicas, físicas, sociales y culturales, al igual que proyectos en una nueva categoría - la innovación tecnológica aplicada a la ciencia de la conservación.

La fecha límite para recibir las solicitudes es el 3 de mayo de 2006.

Si desea obtener información adicional acerca del Programa favor visite la pagina web http://www.nature.nps.gov/canonscholarships/ o si tiene alguna pregunta, por favor contáctese.
