Intern Abroad / Environmental Management
Environmental conservation is a key issue for the present and future in the developing world. Problems remain with improper use of pesticides, traditional land clearing techniques, and even poaching. The need for conservation education and strategy starts with communities and continues through state and national governments. ProWorld interns work on a grass roots level to share practical knowledge and overcome limited experience in environmental project execution. Other projects work to inject new conservation strategies through public policy.
Join us for important internships in areas including forest conservation, national park maintenance and environmental education. Your work will help conserve natural resources for the next generation and beyond.
