CHARITY JOBS IN AFRICA

Organization: Chinko Project
Country: Central African Republic
Closing date: 31 Mar 2015

About us

The Chinko Project sustainably manages a nature reserve in the heart of Africa – one of the last pristine mosaics of wooden savannah and lowland tropical rainforest deep within the Central African Republic. This project goes beyond conservation, it aims to create stability and governance in one of the poorest regions on earth, with an endless history of corruption, depletion of natural resources and military conflicts.

We are passionate about Africa – both its people and its nature and we believe there is a way for both to coexist. The Chinko Project, as a governance body, supports local communities, protects the ecosystem, and maintains economic value through tourism – providing the key for a sustainable future for this thriving ecosystem.
