Anyone with experience working with farmers on biodiversity or ecosystem service measurement/monitoring would be a perfect fit for this role. This Project Officer role will be based out of Toronto, main responsibilities will be to coordinate, manage and monitor ecosystem restoration, agroforestry and regenerative agriculture initiatives with North American agricultural communities on behalf of PUR Projet’s new and existing clients.

Thanks very much,
