Why did we start Conservation Guide?

We want to:

1

Protect & promote biodiversity

The world has lost 58% of its biodiversity in the last 40 years. Conservation Guide makes it easy for people to get involved in the solution.

2

Lower barriers to entry

Our goal is to provide opportunities that help you become a better conservationist no matter your skill or experience level.

3

Improve opportunities

Life can be hard for conservationists if they can't find suitable opportunities. Our plan is to work with conservationists and key partners to improve their quality and quantity.

4

Increase trust and transparency

Conservationists rightly have a lack of trust in many volunteering organisations. We want to fix that by encouraging transparency and only listing quality experiences that pass our selection criteria.
