Each year, we take a handful of volunteers to Vatthe Conservation Area in Vanuatu to tackle the weed big leaf vine which is smothering much of the native forest there.
Vaathe Conservation Area
This two week trip, led by our Otago-Southland Conservation Officer, Sue Maturin, includes a visit to Tanna’s live volcano, 6 days camping in a traditional village clearing big leaf, with time out for village and garden tours, snorkelling/swimming, forest walks, and customary activities. (Cost of travel is met by participants.) More
Help stop New Caledonia’s critically endangered crow honeyeater becoming extinct by volunteering as a field worker this spring.

Forest & Bird’s BirdLife partner in New Caledonia - Société Calédonienne d’Ornithologie (SCO) – is looking for two volunteers from this September to work with locals searching for one of New Caledonia’s most threatened birds. They aim to gather information to help conserve the last crow honeyeaters.
Volunteers could help from one week to three months starting on September 15. They will work alongside SCO staff or volunteers who are skilled birdwatchers – and speak some English.
Volunteers need to be fit because they will be venturing to steep, remote valleys of tropical rainforest. They will camp in rough conditions and could be away from civilisation for five days or more.
Your food, accommodation and transport are provided – but not your airfare to New Caledonia. Just bring your summer clothes and binoculars.
