Conservation Volunteering
|
There are hundreds of organisations needing help with conservation projects. The three main conservation sectors include;
Wildlife conservation projects are just as diverse - desert elephant tracking in Namibia, tiger rehabilitation in Thailand or surveying orangutans and monitoring logging in Borneo.
Land conservation projects could include surveying the Amazon rainforest, clearing and coppicing non-indigenous plants in Australia or working with local farmers in Bolivia cultivating sustainable farming techniques.
Most conservation projects have an element of human interaction too as the work done by organisations needed to be promoted to the local communities, so if you like teaching but have an interest in conservation, you could find something in this line of work.
As well as hands on field research, conservation projects often need office help such as designing leaflets, inputting data or teaching local people IT skills.
If animals are your thing, our database also contains hundreds of
projects working in a zoo, helping qualified veterinarians with their
work and assisting in rehabilitation centres.
If you are a qualified
vet, we also have a number of projects that need your help.

Marine projects could include surveying coral reefs, assessing the impact of overfishing, looking after injured seals or protecting sea turtles. We even know of a great white shark project.
