Spend time at the terrestrial site, in a secluded area of the Krka National Park—one of Croatia's most scenic and popular protected areas. Tasks include assisting in surveys for birds, rare cave fauna, herpetofauna, mammals, and freshwater fish. Volunteers may also work at the marine site on the stunning Silba Island. Activities include learning to dive, completing an Adriatic coastal ecology course, and participating in surveys for fish populations, mollusks, and seagrass.
