If you have a passion for biodiversity and environmental protection, we have the perfect opportunity waiting for you. Over the course of this reforestation and biodiversity internship, you’ll become a green-fingered wizard, building up a repertoire of skills in the field. The main goal of this exciting project is to reforest an area of land spanning 27 hectares. You’ll be in charge of looking after the forest and monitoring the species of trees, plants, and animals found there. The data you collect will form part of the monthly reports and will help to shape the content for the organization’s communications and TV show. You’ll be part of a passionate, driven team of nature enthusiasts, finding ways to create a beautiful, thriving natural environment rich in biodiversity.

Travel to magnificent Portugal, make an active contribution to endangered species conservation, and support the mission of a dedicated wolf sanctuary as a volunteer. Due to human persecution and habitat loss, European wolves were almost exterminated within the past few decades. Whereas populations of the wolf are slowly recovering naturally in several European countries, the populations in Portugal are still extremely limited. Our partner’s wolf conservation project created a safe sanctuary for rescued Iberian wolves that were born and/or kept in captivity under illegal circumstances and are therefore no longer able to live in the wild. Volunteers help care for the animals finding refuge here by feeding them, performing monitoring activities, helping with the forest maintenance where the center is located, and assisting in maintaining the infrastructure of this precious shelter. Become part of a committed conservation team, actively participating in protecting Portugal’s last big carnivore and experiencing the nature and wildlife of the southwestern European country in an incomparable way.
