About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers, under the coordination of WWF staff and marine protected area technicians, will support: - monitoring and protecting turtle nests (ATTENTION. This activity may require waking up early in the morning or sleeping on the beach at night to monitor turtle nests or in the event that eggs hatch and therefore new-born turtles need to be protected.); - assistance to injured turtles or injured birds; - cleaning beaches; - monitoring of protected areas; - support for the creation of paths in natural areas, with the relevant illustrative signage. A study part is planned to introduce the theme of the social use of property confiscated from the bosses of local criminal organisations

The accommodation will be provided inside the CELA (Center for Environmental Education and Legality, managed by local WWF) itself in shared rooms. Volunteers will cook by themselves and with leaders, with food provided by the organization.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
