Before speaking about special eco-volunteering programmes it is necessary to understand what eco-volunteering is.
As wikipedia says, eco-volunteering includes environmental monitoring (e.g. wildlife); ecological restoration such as revegetation and weed removal, and educating others about the natural environment.
Like other types of volunteering, environmental volunteers are motivated by a range of different factors, some of which are altruistic and others are for personal interest and development. Recognised motivations are:
1) making a contribution to community
2) promoting social interaction
3) personal development
4) learning about the natural environment
5) a general ethic of care for the environment
6) attachment to a particular place.
Environmental volunteering has also been associated with helping those with mental health conditions, as physical activity and fresh air benefits some sufferers.
