Giant Otter Reintroduction Project

Fundacion Rewilding Argentina

About the Program

We protect the natural environment and restore species that have become threatened or extinct in the region. We also promote the economic sustainability of local communities through environmental education and the promotion of natural values.

We are currently carrying out several wildlife reintroduction projects and looking for volunteers to help with the reintroduction of the Giant Otter and the monitoring of other species such as anteaters; pampas deer; and collared peccaries.

Main tasks:

  • Assistance in care and maintenance of pre-release pens (cleaning pools; cutting grass; infrastructure repair; etc)
  • Fishing outings for several hours to search for food for the specimens to be released
  • Preparation of food for animals
  • Assistance with camera traps and video surveillance; and data collection.

To apply; please write to voluntariadonutriagigante@gmail.com

It is recommended to bring water boots; hat; sunglasses; sunscreen; and mosquito repellent.
