ISOLA DELLE FEMMINE

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Isola delle Femmine is a natural reserve established in 1997 by the Sicilian Region and managed by LIPU (Italian league for birds protection) since 1998. This little uninhabited island is the ideal place for a specific species of birds called Gabbiano reale (Larus michahellis) allowing them to rest from migration and to grow numerically. Due to financial cutting, this area is suffering of maintenance and the support received along the year, of course is not as such as should be provided. This is the reason why InformaGiovani togerher with LIPU organize every year workcamps to support the maintanance of the natural reserve and to sensitize the local community towards the place.

💼 What the programme involves

Work will be run in the little uninhabited island, volunteers will help in cleaning the area, re-building stone paths. Work will be done mainly in the morning and in case of wind or rain the work will be run at land (at the office of LIPU). Work can be tiring and hard due to hot temperature and sicilian sun (hat and sunblock are compulsory). Being able to swim is compulsory.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is in a small apartment in the village (not on the island) which is at the same time the LIPU office. All the volunteers will be accommodated in one room equipped with bunk beds and share one bathroom. Food will be cooked by volunteers.
