Green Progress - Sustainable Rural Development & Reforestation in Ecuador

PROGRESO VERDE (Green Progress) - sustainable rural development & reforestation in Ecuador through productive community projects for social, economic and environmental sustainability
by CRACYP
CRACYP is an Ecuadorian-registered NGO. CRACYP stands for Corporacion Red Arborizadora Campo y Progreso, which is Spanish for Rural Forestation & Development Network Corporation.
The website has information about our projects, which include eco-tourism, community banks, organic agriculture, community development and appropriate technology for agriculture. Projects in the pipeline include recycling, irrigation, bio-fuels and scholarships for young volunteers in Ecuador.
The organic sugar cane farmers of our CADO project have what is perhaps the world´s only organic alcohol produced by a socially-responsible community enterprise. The high quality alcohol (ethanol) is for sale on a fair trade basis. Organic potable alcohol is ideal for producing organic liqueurs. Organic DEB96 can be used in perfumery or industrial processes such as the extraction of plant essences. Gas chromatography analysis is available and CADO can match the specification of an existing alcohol sample.
Internships and Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer opportunities and internships in sustainable development in rural Ecuador are also available. See the website for details of these great opportunities to gain experience in grassroots rural community development. There are intern opportunities in various fields including business skills, microfinance, biology, public health and engineering as well as the obvious topics such as sustainable agriculture, rural development and fair trade. We are now working in an indigenous community in the beautiful highlands in the north of Ecuador, as well as in many communities in the lush, subtropical, Western foothills of the Andes in the Costa region of the country, and there are now volunteer placements and intern opportunities at both sites.
We also have a bit of local information about Ecuador and are very proud of our hummingbirds photo gallery [[1]].
