Why environmental conservation?

Climate change, deforestation and destruction of coral reef worldwide seem to be happening at an alarming rate. There is no better time to take action and reverse some of these trends.

By conservation volunteering abroad, you can give back some of your time for important causes, and to help save our beautiful planet. 

Our agriculture programs are also a great chance for a cultural exchange, to learn more about sustainable farming techniques, help out under resourced farmers, and to contribute to the local community. 

Our marine conservation programs abroad really utilise the volunteers in helping to plant coral reef and help to restore vital underwater ecosystems.

"I really appreciated the diversity of the work. Each day was a different mix of planting and collecting seeds which made it all very interesting. Collecting mangrove fruits from already established trees was something I had never done before so that was definitely a highlight."
