In this program, you will join volunteers from all over the world to support the local organizations taking care of the Natural Park of Cilento/Alburni and support them and the local community in their activities of Forest conservation, protection of biodiversity, and fire prevention among others.
As a volunteer, you will be placed on a non-profit focused on promoting environmental and animal conservation through educational summer camps projects. These initiatives seek to enhance the natural heritage, reduce environmental damage, regenerate and recover natural spaces, and therefore promote biodiversity and restore ecological functions. You will be working side by side with the organization’s staff.
Amongst others, forests and natural parks guarantee us a great diversity of ecosystem functions, such as the acclimatization, the conservation of natural resources, the control of soil erosion, the water regulation and water filtration, the recycling of nutrients, the formation of soil, the sequestration of carbon, the filtration of air pollutants, climate softening, the production of raw materials and the reducing the risk of fires.
Most of the activities are based in the natural park of Cilento/Alburni that surrounds and included, but are not limited to: giving a hand in the general maintenance operations, patrol excursions to prevent fires, building wooden artificial nests for wild birds and fire sensors on trees, clean rivers, and beaches, organize community events to celebrate local biodiversity and sensitize public opinion on environmental issues.
