Biosphere Expeditions

www.biosphere-expeditions.org

This group offers volunteers the chance to be involved in hands-on wildlife and conservation research alongside local scientists in locations around the globe.

Timing & Length of Placements

From two to 10 weeks, starting every two weeks.

Destinations

Project locations vary, depending on where there is a need, however they generally include Oman, Honduras, Azores Archipelago, Peru, Slovakia, Sri Lanka, Namibia, Brazil and the Altai Republic.

Costs

Between £990 to £1250 including all food, lodging and in-country transportation. At least two-thirds of this contribution goes directly into the conservation project to fund long-term sustainability.

Eligibility

Biosphere aims to be inclusive and there are no age or physical restrictions (the oldest participant was 87!). Expeditions vary in the amount of physical ability required and you must be confident that you can cope with the demands. Volunteers under the age of 18 must have parental consent.
