KENYA
There is a range of nature conservation activities on offer in Kenya if you are looking for a challenge and keen to support ongoing volunteering projects. Help protect fragile wildlife habitats, home to elephants and primates, through a mixture of construction and education. Kenya's coastline hosts forests with some of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world - but they are disappearing fast. Help plant indigenous trees and educate local children about the importance of the environment.
