Wildlife conservation in endangered ecosystems

With the threat of global warming continuing to grow, environmental issues have become increasingly important.

As human populations have expanded they have encroached into natural ecosystems, altering them irreparably and putting animals and plant life under threat. Our conservation volunteer projects work to restrict the impact of human activity and are ideal for anyone interested in environmental issues who wants to volunteer overseas and make a difference.

Our wildlife conservation volunteers can work on a Big Five game reserve in South Africa, in a national park in Ecuador or in a crocodile conservation centre in India. Each of these volunteer programs tackles different issues and faces unique challenges, so volunteers can assume a variety of roles. You could be contributing to vital research projects, feeding animals and cleaning out enclosures, or even running guided tours for tourists.
