ARCAS and the wild animals it protects benefit from the support of volunteers both at its Wildlife Rescue Center in Petén as well as its Sea Turtle and Mangrove Conservation project on Hawaii on the Pacific coast. Volunteers contribute to the technical capacity and financial self-sufficiency of ARCAS’s conservation efforts while also gaining valuable work experience and an insight into Guatemalan culture and the problem of wildlife trafficking.

Volunteers at the Rescue Center in Peten help in the daily feeding and caring for confiscated animals, which can include parrots, macaws, spider and howler monkeys, owls, hawks, crocodiles, turtles, kinkajous and many more. Nearly all of these animals have been seized from the illegal pet trade and are required to go through a rehabilitation process. It is important for their release for these animals not to become accustomed to people, therefore we treat them as wild as possible. When possible, volunteers in Peten can take part in wildlife releases, the fun part!

At the Parque Hawaii on the Pacific coast, volunteers conduct nightly beach patrols in search of nesting sea turtles, collect and bury eggs in the hatchery, release hatchlings on the beach and collection research data. The olive ridley sea turtle nesting season in Hawaii is from the middle of July to December with peak months of August to October.
Volunteers can also collaborate in monitoring and reforesting the local mangrove ecosystem and on ARCAS’s farm, El Salado. In Hawaii, we also receive rescued animals from the Pacific coast, including tamanduas, parrots and iguanas, as well as stranded marine fauna such as sea turtles, sea lions and dolphins.

There is a lot of community work to be done in Hawaii, and volunteers can take part in educational activities in the area schools, including beach clean-ups, ecological festivals, teaching English, involvement in turtle conservation, ecotourism, handicrafts and other sustainable community development projects. Volunteers are also needed to support ARCAS's yellow-naped parrot and sea turtle conservation and research efforts along the entire Pacific coast.

Being a non-profit, ARCAS doesn’t have the resources of a larger organization and volunteers are expected to be fairly independent and self-sufficient.
