Cur síos

!Looking for 1 last participant for our 32-day summer volunteering experience on the Cilento coastline in South Italy! You’ll work with international teams to protect sea turtle nests, support hatchlings, and engage local communities in marine conservation. Daily activities include early morning beach patrols, 24-hour nest vigilance during hatchings, public awareness campaigns, and environmental surveys to assess human impact. Organized by ACARBIO and part of the CarettainVista network, coordinated by the Anton Dohrn Zoological Station (LIFE TURTLENEST), this is a hands-on conservation project offering field experience, emotional challenges, and lasting memories. Come live the wild rhythm of nature, side-by-side with passionate biologists and volunteers from across Europe.
