The Great Projects: Volunteer alongside endangered species of wildlife

Here at 'The Great Projects', our mission and goal is to help save some of the planet's most endangered animals through our unique volunteering and ecotourism projects.

We offer award-winning volunteer projects and ecotours which are designed to be both memorable and rewarding. You'll be able to get up, close and personal with some the most beloved species in some of the world's most far-flung locations!

What's more, through our donations to projects (up to a third of the price each time someone volunteers) and sustainable
conservation initiatives, you will know that your travel really does help to make a difference to not only preserving and protecting wildlife but also to the local communities which live alongside them.
