Remote Internships in Ecuador
Ecuador is home to dramatic, contrasting landscapes despite being the second-smallest country in Latin America. In one day, you can journey from black water lagoons of the Amazon basin, across the glaciers of Andean volcanoes, through dense cloud forest canopies and arrive at the beaches of the Pacific coast. These unique landscapes make Ecuador a great place for biodiversity and environmental conservation. The people of Ecuador are as diverse as their landscape, however, high poverty and income inequality greatly affect the indigenous, mixed race, and rural populations.
Our remote internship projects in Ecuador focus on sustainable projects working with the local communities to address issues around the environment, entrepreneurship, corporate and social responsibilities, among others.
