Near the city are areas undergoing rapid economic growth with the expansion of cattle and tropical farming and intense social change brought about by colonization projects.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Bolivian tropics, cover nearly two thirds of the country, are incredibly rich in flora and fauna. while the area is developing rapidly, and thus losing habitats, the determined visitor can sill find monkeys and macaws, peccaries and parrots, jaguars and jacamar, piranha and puff birds, along with several million head of cattle.  Even travellers who never make it into the deep jungle can see parrots and three-toed sloths in the plazas of towns in Santa Cruz such as San Jose de Chiquitos.   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The overwhelming biodiversity makes of South America's heartland a beauty Paradise for locals and tourists.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Volunteer Challenge makes it true to work with a sample collection of Bolivian biodiversity 9 km. away from the main city of Santa Cruz,  where participants can gain experience and share their knowledge and culture with local workers at the Ecological Sanctuary.     The park needs professional and also not experienced volunteers.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6172140466827603117-8474165141487382385?l=meaningfultravelbolivia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://meaningfultravelbolivia.blogspot.com/feeds/8474165141487382385/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://meaningfultravelbolivia.blogspot.com/2010/02/volunteering-at-bolivian-paradise.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6172140466827603117/posts/default/8474165141487382385'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6172140466827603117/posts/default/8474165141487382385'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://meaningfultravelbolivia.blogspot.com/2010/02/volunteering-at-bolivian-paradise.html' title='Volunteering at the Ecological Sanctuary'/><author><name>Volunteer Challenge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02128675936609709207</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MCXESxbU21E/S78dyh0VRgI/AAAAAAAAABg/cz71vIrwDL8/S220/LOGO+Volunteer+Challenge+corazon++Facebook+2010+copia.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
