Volunteer Ecuador
Opportunity location: Las Tangaras Reserve - Mindo - west slope of Andes from Quito
Closing date (if specified): No date specified (will remain here for 90 days from posting date)
Opportunity Description:
Ecuador Cloud Forest Bird Expedition
Andes Mountains, South America: August 15-28, 2010
Become a Life Net Conservation Volunteer! Join Dr. Dusti Becker for an exciting 2- week research project focusing on birds in the Andes of western Ecuador. Dr. Becker, a well-known tropical avian ecologist with over 15 years of experience in Ecuador, will lead the expedition with help from experienced Ecuadorian field assistants, Pascual and MauricioTorres. Volunteers help with mist-netting of birds at Las Tangaras Reserve, Mindo, Ecuador to advance scientific understanding of a cloud forest avian community and species tolerances for deforestation and grazing. Your contribution of $1500 to the non-profit conservation organization Life Net is tax deductible and is used to sustain the reserve, while covering your transportation in Ecuador, meals, & lodging during the conservation research program.
Las Tangaras boasts more than 25 species of hummingbird, a cock-of-the-rock arena, and fabulous numbers of Choco and Andean endemic bird species. Volunteers help set up and monitor mist nets, extract birds from nets, carry birds from nets to a banding station, and record basic ecological data. Bilingual volunteers can contribute to environmental education and ecotourism training. Volunteers will have some afternoons free to explore and/or bird the Mindo area.
The expedition begins and ends in Quito. Contact Dusti Becker at dbecker@lifenetnature.org for further details. Experience with mist-netting is desirable, but not required. Visit the Volunteer page of www.lifenetnature.org for more details.
If you are bi-lingual and would like to help Pascual Torres with other mist-netting projects at Las Tangaras during 2010, contact Dr. Becker to arrange a volunteer opportunity that suits your schedule.

Shorebird Technician
SHOREBIRD TECHNICIAN – 1 April (start date flexible) – 31 July 2010. Assist in research activities related to human impacts on coastal barrier habitat and its shorebird inhabitants at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base (MCBCL) in North Carolina. Human impacts include amphibious beach training exercises, recreational use, and the introduction of non-native predators. The objective of this research is to analyze how human activities influence habitat quality and use, and shorebird survival and productivity at MCBCL.
Duties will include, but are not limited to: shorebird surveys, nest searching and monitoring, resighting of color-banded birds, behavioral and foraging observations, and data entry. Training will be provided, but much of the work will be conducted independently. Work hours will be long and may include Saturdays or Sundays. The weather along the beach can vary from cool, breezy or rainy conditions to high temperatures and humidity. The successful candidate will walk 6 to 10 miles of beachfront and/or kayak 3-5 miles each day to conduct field activities.
Qualifications: B.S. in Wildlife Science, Environmental Science, Biology, or related field - experience with band resighting – shorebird identification is a preferred skill. A valid driver’s license is required and experience driving a 4WD vehicle is desired. Boating experience is a plus and candidate must be able to swim and work confidently on the water. Applicant must pass a criminal background check in order to work on the military base.
$400-480 / week depending on experience and housing provided.
Position open until filled.
Send resume including academic background, work experience, overall and major GPA, and contact info for 3 references to: Dr. Sarah Karpanty, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences, Virginia Tech, 100 Cheatham Hall, Blacksburg, VA 24061-0321, karpanty@vt.edu.

Harvesting Forester Associate
KOMAZA is a social enterprise working to permanently end rural poverty by developing sustainable economic opportunities for smallholder farmers living in East Africa's unfertile and drought-prone regions. Founded in 2006 and based in Kenya, the organization's innovative grassroots model dramatically boosts household income and wealth for rural families by equipping them with resources, knowledge and market linkages to produce high-value crops on their previous degraded land. Working through a village-based extension network, KOMAZA reduces start-up costs and barriers to market entry by providing poor farmers with crop inputs and tools on credit, ongoing training and support, as well as complete vertically integrated value chain services and market access opportunities. KOMAZA is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization in the United States and is incorporated in the State of California. Learn more at www.komaza.org
The Area: Value capture
The value capture team takes our farmers’ raw tree logs, processes them into high-value products that are demanded in the marketplace, and coordinates sales. The team will also pursue contracts, coordinate logistics, and design, build, and manage processing infrastructure. The value capture team’s goal is to sell tree products to maximize per-farm profitability, while planning for a scaled supply of wood from tens of thousands of farmers. The team is currently undertaking challenges such as:
? Uncovering the most desirable wood product markets, both domestically and abroad – and understanding the product specifications and how to manage any barriers to entry
? Determining the best processing techniques to capture the most revenue potential, through research and testing
? Designing the operational blueprint to manage processing, logistics, and sales of tens of thousands of trees – and building this operational infrastructure
? Evaluating the cost-benefit tradeoffs among all operational decisions, to maximize profitability
? Mitigating risk by pursuing multiple product lines and diversified revenue streams and customer bases
? Coordinating logistics – from farm to processing facility and facility to buyer
The Role: Harvesting Forester Associate
As harvesting forester, you will be responsible for designing and executing KOMAZA’s first harvest among its rural farmer stands of eucalyptus trees. You will ensure sustainable forestry management and maximize the per-tree profit while minimizing waste. You will provide effective leadership and hands-on management of harvesting operations – from hiring a team to acquiring the equipment necessary for operations to solving logistical challenges. You will:
Monitoring and Evaluation
• Supervise forest stand mapping: collaborate with GIS Associate and Crop Production team to collect forest stand data and create maps for effective and efficient harvesting operations
• Oversee operational monitoring and evaluation: execute pre- and post-harvest inventories (including pre-selection of trees for felling), manage permanent sample plot surveys, oversee data capture and analysis, estimate harvest volumes over time to enable revenue projections
• Ensure accurate record keeping: both on-site (e.g. labeling of logs for tracking) and remotely in databases (e.g. growth projections)
Operations
• Design thinning and harvesting plans: collaborate with rest of value capture team to design the scheduling, logistics, equipment, and cost management of harvest operations
• Supervise harvest operations: supervise operations on-site to ensure proper health and safety procedures are followed, quality is protected (directional felling, pre-processing activities), environmental impact is minimized, and rural farmers are involved with and informed about the plans and execution
• Manage transportation logistics to storage and processing facilities: coordinate the cost efficient transportation of raw and processed logs to selected destinations
• Operate and oversee maintenance of chainsaws, portable sawmills, vehicles, and other equipment
• Manage diverse operations team while understanding and responding to their professional development needs: hire, train, and supervise field staff and harvesting laborers
Environment, Health, and Safety
• Ensure full compliance with all Kenyan safety, forestry, harvesting, and environmental regulations: learn rules and regulations and maintain partnerships with regulatory bodies to stay current on any changes, manage fire prevention plans and execution
• Protect health and safety: implement international-caliber health and safety standards, making safety top priority.Minimize environmental impact: ensure proper post-harvest clean-up of eucalyptus stands, follow relevant laws and minimize environmental impact on land
