I
was
looking
for
an
orgnisation
to
volunteer
with,
that
fights
against
the
extinction
of
species
as
that's
a
very,
very
sad
fact.
So
I
found
IntiWaraYassi,
that
says:"To
defend
the
environment
and
conserve
biodiversity."
and
I
thought,I´m
right
here.
It
turned
out,
that
this
was
just
to
attract
paying
volunteers.
They
do
not
the
least
attempt
to
Conserve
Biodiversity.
They
have
for
example
65
capuchin
monkeys,
they
are
not
endangered
at
all.
Same
as
about
97%
of
the
animals
at
Parque
Machia
are
not
endangered.
So
their
info"work
with
endangered
species"
is
not
totally
wrong,
but
is
same
for
attracting
attention.
Also
their
quote:
"La
extinction
es
por
siempre
haga
su
soporte
"
being
placed
at
the
entrance
is
of
course
truth,
but
they
are
not
doing
anything
against
it.
The
few
endangered
animals
they
have,
are
not
attempted
to
be
brought
back
to
the
wild.
So
there
are
some
wild
cats
or
a
bear
and
a
lot
of
birds,
that
will
spend
their
whole
life(decades)
in
this
parks.
With
this
effort
of
work
and
money
there
could
be
soo
much
more
done
for
the
species
than
giving
one
individual
a
(maybe)
better
life(e.g.
reforestation,
education)
The
administrator
just
easily
said
"they
don't
have
the
facilities
to
reintroduce
the
animals
to
the
wild".
As
there
are
always
about
15
paying
volunteers(400$
per
month),
it
seems
obvious,
that
they
don't
do
any
try
to
bring
some
of
the
animals
back
to
the
wild.
I
personally
worked
with
birds
and
read
for
example:"Many
species
of
birds
can
be
seen,
their
once
cropped
feathers
slowly
growing
back."
I
thought
that´s
a
good
developpment
from
birds,
that
should
be
pets
would
be
back
in
the
nature
soon
-
knowing
that
there
are
critically
endangered
species
in
Bolivia.
The
CareTaker
of
the
birds(a
very
nice
bolivian
woman,
that
unfortunately
will
receive
an
ear
damage
soon
with
this
work)
explained
me,
that
the
feathers
needs
to
be
cut
every
now
and
then,
otherwise
the
birds
could
escape
(WTF?!).
....maybe
I
just
should
have
drank
the
cheapest
rum
same
as
most
of
the
other
volunteers(not
all)
and
see
the
sense
in
putting
nice
animal
-
pictures
on
facebook.
And
just
follow
the
instructions
in
the
folder
that
explains,
to
sing
and
dance
with
the
birds,
as
they
would
be
pets
just
being
saved
from
being
someone
elses
pets.
Knowing
that,
the
extinctions
silently
takes
place
out
there,
makes
me
sad.
Can´t
beleive,
that
they
confuse
fight
extinction
with
entertainment,
the
priority
should
be
totally
obvious.
From
all
the
volunteering
I
did
in
all
the
countries
it
was
the
first
time
I
paid
for
it
and
it
was
the
first
time,
that
I
didn´t
see
a
big
sense
in
it
-
I
got
the
impression,
that
this
organisation
was
set
up
for
making
profit,
I
quit
after
3
days
so
at
least
I
don´t
spend
time
with
this.
-->
that´s
my
opinion.
