The Green Volunteers Guide: the World Guide to Voluntary Work in Nature Conservation
The Green Volunteers Guide is a directory of wildlife conservation projects and organisations, often unknown to the general public, throughout the world. It gives readers opportunities to get involved with a wide range of species, habitats and locations, both terrestrial and marine, in national parks or small villages, that take volunteers from various backgrounds, often with no previous experience required.
Projects' work ranges from sea turtles in Costa Rica or Mexico to whales and dolphins in the Mediterranean or seals in Turkey, from wolves in North America to bats or wallabies in Australia or rhinos or cheetas in Africa, or to biodiversity surveys in the Galapagos Archipelago. Opportunities are available year round.The Green Volunteers Guide is a one time purchase! You will not be asked to purchase new editions of the guide! Updates are available, through the Green Volunteers Online Database. Purchase of the Guide online gives you immediate access to the Database.
The guide provides 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.
In "View Sample Projects" (left menu) you can see how the Projects are listed in the Guide and in the Database.
