About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our organization's main purpose is the conservation of the natural environment of Thrace by monitoring birds of prey as key indicators of biodiversity, while also promoting projects that support the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteering activities include the restoration of the National Park of Dadia–Lefkimi–Soufli, monitoring of vultures and other birds of prey in Thrace, and assessing the impact of wind farms on birds. Volunteers also assist in the promotion and testing of alternative methods to reduce human–wildlife conflicts, support and participate in various educational and awareness events, actions, and projects, and contribute to data management and helping in the rescue of injured raptors. Additional tasks involve restoration activities for the forest vegetation after the tremendous wild fire of the year 2023.

🎒 Leisure activities

Accommodation is provided in a fully equipped house, which includes: 4 bedrooms with 6 single beds, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 balconies, and both a front and back yard. The house is equipped with electrical appliances such as a washing machine, fridge-freezer, electric stove, and air conditioner.

Deadline: 15/10/2026 14:00

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).
