The World Guide and Information Network
To Voluntary Work in Nature Conservation

Green Volunteers is a directory of wildlife conservation projects and organisations throughout the world. It gives readers opportunities to get involved with a wide range of nature conservation work.

Green Volunteers lists projects and organisations across a wide range of species, habitats and locations. There are large international organizations with many projects throughout the world and smaller organizations in developing countries, often unknown to the general public, focusing on particular species or habitats. The book also lists national agencies such as the US National Park Service, or international organizations such as United Nations Volunteers.

Projects' work ranges from sea turtles in Costa Rica, Mexico to whales and dolphins in the Mediterranean or seals in Turkey, from wolves in Easter Europe or the United States to rhinos or cheetas in Africa, or to biodiversity surveys in the Galapagos Archipelago. There are projects in every continent, encompassing diverse habitats and species, both terrestrial and marine, in national parks or small villages, that take volunteers from various background, often with no previous experience required. Opportunities are available year round.

The guide provides you with all the necessary information for joining a project such as: e-mail and web addresses, accommodation, travel information and medical requirements. It also describes the work involved, species and habitats, season and duration, plus any qualifications required. Specially compiled indexes help you to quickly identify projects according to species, habitat, location and cost.
