Europe

When you think about volunteering abroad with animals, what comes to mind? African wildlife, such as lions, rhinos and elephants? What about volunteering in Europe? This diverse continent is often forgotten when it comes to volunteering abroad, as the majority of people would choose locations such as Asia or Africa first before even considering Europe. With that being said, volunteering in Europe is terribly under-rated yet has so much to offer, as people do not realise that Europe is home to some exquisite, natural hidden gems and amazing wildlife!

While Europe is renowned for its rich culture and ancient history, rather than its biodiversity, there are still endangered species in need of help here. By becoming a volunteer in Europe you could help species such as the Eurasian wolf, Siberian tiger, brown bear or even the Arctic fox, all of which can be found across this close-knit continent. However, pollution, climate change and habitat loss are all contributing factors to the decrease in wildlife population across Europe. As a result of this, conservation efforts are needed now more than ever to aid in the protection of these iconic animals.

As a wildlife volunteer, you will have the chance to work with other like-minded people in building a safer future for the animals across Europe. You could take part in activities ranging from whale monitoring in the secluded paradise of the Azores to feeding brown bears in the unspoilt countryside of Romania. With its untouched, peaceful countryside and deep valleys; you will have the opportunity to volunteer in a range of destinations across Europe, all offering rewarding and life-changing experiences.

Whether you are looking to volunteer for the first time or if you are city-hopping through Europe, join a project today and turn a holiday into a volunteering experience you’ll never forget. Start your journey to becoming a volunteer in Europe today.
