OpenmindProjects Eco volunteers go to national parks and villages to teach English, develop Ecotourism information and services, explain Ecotourism to local people and assess their training needs so they can gain a larger share of the Ecotourism revenue generated. Today most of the revenue stays with travel agencies and tour operators.

The qualified Eco volunteer can also participate in wildlife surveys.

Another responsibility of the Eco volunteer is to participate in environmental education - to make people aware of today’s threats to the environment: climate change, wildlife issues, illegal trade in wildlife, hardwood and orchids etc.

The Eco volunteer also helps local people understand the opportunities and benefits of Eco tourism.

Eco volunteers involve the local population in Ecotourism projects. They help develop Ecotourism projects to benefit the local community by using local resources in accommodation, transport, guiding, food etc. The most important task of an Eco volunteer is often to teach English.

We send eco volunteers to National Parks and villages to explain the opportunities of eco tourism,  the importance to protect wildlife and environment  and to train park staff and local villagers to take care of  eco tourists. Eco Volunteers teach English, help develop eco tourism information and services, trekking packages, design websites. Eco Volunteers may participate in wildlife survey work on land and in the sea.
