Its policies are based on the Natural Protected Areas Law and related regulations. INRENA is represented throughout the country and has received recognition by the sectors involved in natural resource management and nature protection. Sandoval Park Station in Tambopata needs volunteers to teach the Park Rangers English, also to help them in their patrol in the reserve Area of Sandoval.

1. Working in the office orienting travelers and hikers as they entered the jungle; that involve some paper work, observations and speeches.
2. Registering the entrance of local and foreign visitors in the Park Ranger Station.
3. Assisting in the monthly statistics of the number of visitors done to Sandoval Lake through Travel Agencies.
4. Informing visitors the basic rules to be respected of the Park Ranger Station, objectives and functions.

Those will experience can help in the design of a bridge which needs to be repaired on the main trail.
