EcoWB Volunteers
VOLUNTEERS ARE THE HEART & SOUL OF ECOWB!
EcoWB’s network of volunteers consists of more than 800 passionate individuals from over 60 countries around the globe. Figure 1 shows the widespread distribution of our registered volunteers. While you do not need to have an academic degree to get involved, many of our volunteers hold advanced degrees representing a variety of scientific and technical disciplines such as ecology, fisheries science, aquaculture, forestry, conservation biology, environmental science, engineering, agriculture, GIS/cartography, policy, climatology, geoscience, wildlife management, resource economics, and more.
Other volunteers come to us from the humanities, such as education, media studies, area studies, anthropology, and others. We seek volunteers with a wide variety of backgrounds and your experience and dedication matter most. What all of our volunteers have in common is a strong desire to give back, and the motivation to slow detrimental environmental change, reduce poverty and strife, ensure food security, enhance livelihoods, and improve quality of life for Earth’s inhabitants. Our volunteers collectively contribute thousands of volunteer hours each year to further EcoWB’s mission.

At EcoWB, we provide a simple path for volunteers to contribute their specialized knowledge and skills toward a variety of projects. In addition to project work, there are opportunities for volunteers to serve the organization by supporting activities such as fundraising, communications, new project development, and the growth of strategic partnerships.
There is no prerequisite to register as an EcoWB volunteer, nor is there an expectation that someone who volunteers will always be available to help. We appreciate any time you have to give, whether it’s a few hours a month or a full-time position. Our goal is to appropriately match individuals who have the time and expertise with projects and teams of people who could use their help and to support their efforts going forward.
Again, we welcome volunteers from all walks of life, disciplines, and experience levels who are willing to contribute their time and talents to help restore, protect, and conserve natural ecosystems.
