Biodiversity 🍄
Explore biodiversity volunteering opportunities involving conservation, habitat restoration, species monitoring, ecological research and other projects where biological diversity is a genuine part of the activities.
Biodiversity is broader than wildlife alone. It includes variation within species, differences between species and the diversity of ecosystems, from forests and wetlands to farmland, coral reefs and other habitats.
What belongs in this biodiversity archive? 🍄
Projects belong here when biodiversity is genuinely connected with their aims or volunteer activities. Simply being located in a forest, rainforest, rural area or other species-rich environment is not enough on its own.
What can biodiversity volunteering involve?
Activities may include habitat restoration, biodiversity surveys, species identification, wildlife or plant monitoring, invasive species management, native planting, seed conservation, ecological data collection, environmental education or support for conservation research. The exact role and level of technical experience required vary considerably between projects.
If volunteers are asked to collect scientific data, handle wildlife, identify species or carry out ecological surveys, ask what methods are used, who supervises the work and how the information is used. Informal observation should not automatically be presented as scientific monitoring or conservation research.
