We are Friends of Wallacea, a group that leads indigenous, conservation tours in the world’s most wild places. You might have heard of our sister organization, Operation Wallace, a biodiversity research expedition group that has led thousands of eager volunteers on trips over the last 25 years.
We recently launched a new wildlife adventure tour in Warapoka Village in District One, and are offering one responsible traveler the chance to travel with us for free as a Conservation Storytelling Fellow.
The fellowship is a way for us to offer someone to travel for free, but also to express their creativity for storytelling purposes. An important aspect of this tour is to focus on telling the story of Warapoka and its community. The goal is to spotlight the Warau community: their cultures, and their efforts to conserve flora and fauna. This is a great way for storytellers/writers/
The tour includes:
-
A 7-night all-inclusive trip to the village of Warapoka, in August 2022
-
A stay in a remote village, where to bask in indigenous traditions
-
Excursions through the rainforests in search of rare birds and wild animals
-
Excursion to Kaieteur Falls
Applications are open to everyone 18+ years old, who loves adventure, and is concerned about Guyana’s sustainability and conservation. This fellowship is the opportunity for all explorers, especially Guyanese, to travel to remote places in their country. Their work will be spread all around the world!
Applications are open until March 1, 2022, and additional information can be found on: https://friendsofwallacea.org/
