From the giant Aldabra tortoise to the coco de mer palm and an array of rare bird species, these islands host a natural heritage found nowhere else on Earth. However, this delicate balance is under constant threat from climate change, ocean acidification, plastic pollution, invasive species, and habitat degradation due to human activity. Volunteers can play a crucial role in mitigating these threats, directly contributing to the survival of iconic species and the health of vital ecosystems. However, while there is a thriving volunteer sector based around conservation, the projects who operate there receive more requests for volunteer placements than they could ever meet and therefore restrict themselves to volunteers of the highest calibre both in terms of outlook, skills and experience. Most projects are also looking for medium to longer term volunteers (minimum of four months) as the work revolves around the project not the needs of the volunteer. Below are our listing for current volunteer work projects and programs in the Seychelles.
