Ethical eco-voluntour programs provide a meaningful contribution to conservation science, non-profit growth, animal welfare, and science.
Pay to work schemes vs true volunteering programs
Pay to work schemes are unethical, have no scientific or conservation contribution.
Nova Conservation’s ethical programs provide the participant with tangible skills that they can add to a resume if they choose: ie foreign language, construction, data analysis, field skills, etc.
Pay to Work programs which only accept participants to further their finances and force the participant to work an unfair amount, possibly against his/her will, offer nothing to the participant in return.
Nova Conservations Ethical programs provide opportunities for all peoples, regardless of race, income level, ethnicity.
Our Ethical programs respect native cultures and ecosystems.
