Internship in Environment Management (Caribbean Coast Colombia)
Complete an Internship in Environment Management at the Caribbean Coast in Colombia!
Are you interested in the work of international NGOs, environmental protection and recycling strategies in the Caribbean in Colombia? Recycling is relatively unknown in Colombia, especially in rural areas. The reality shows that garbage is often recklessly dumped in the countryside or on the coast without thought for the consequences. In order to successfully bring down environmental pollution levels in developing countries one needs to closely work with local leaders who have a strong will to bring change to their community.
