Conservation Expeditions

Life Net is a leader in avian conservation in Ecuador and Kenya hosting birding and banding volunteers to complete bird surveys and long-term monitoring.  In Kenya, volunteers focus on mammals as well as birds and on identification and monitoring of wildlife corridors on Maasai lands next to the Masai Mara.

Life Net conservation research contributes directly to the preservation of biodiversity, particularly endemic and declining birds in Ecuador and Kenya. Volunteers join a meaningful scientific expedition and gain valuable cultural experiences. See Volunteer  for information on specific projects.

Huemul Conservation

Throughout the 1990s, Life Net carried out field research and conservation work in Chile on behalf of the huemul (Andean deer), that nation’s endangered national symbol. Today, we continue to help Chilean conservationists, most recently with a letter by Dr. Tony Povilitis,* a well-known huemul biologist, to environmental authorities advising against a harmful hydroelectric development in prime huemul habitat. You can read follow up story in Chile’s newspaper La Discusion.*
