This project allowed me to discover new things, both about the country’s culture and the animals at the farm and reserve. It also boosted my confidence and introduced me to a new way of traveling while being helpful. The encounters and memories will stay with me forever!

A Guide to Conservation Volunteering Abroad

Why Volunteer Abroad in Conservation

Human population expansion has caused the extinction of thousands of plant and animal species throughout history and continuously threatens the extinction of thousands more. All over the world non-profit organizations continuously place volunteers on the ground working rigorously to preserve indigenous biological populations. As a conservation volunteer abroad, you will have the opportunity to work closely with endangered plants and animals, ensuring the preservation and conservation of each specie’s future, in a rapidly changing world.
