Frequently Asked Questions

The most common environmental causes include marine protection, reforestation, and education. You may work with NGOs or look for organizations that offer environmental volunteering programs.

Environmental volunteering entails conservation efforts in some of the world's endangered areas, threatened by factors like climate change, deforestation, pollution, biodiversity loss, overpopulation, and more.

South African countries, Ecuador, and Costa Rica are some of the best destinations for environmental volunteering, as these countries have been adversely affected by deforestation, animal extinction, and other comparable factors.

Thanks to Paula and Franck I had the best experience. I really enjoyed my two months in Togo, it was very enriching and the projects with Clef Togo were powerful and meaningful. It was very nice to be accompagniez by the team all the time. It felt safe. That was in 2019 and I still remember it very well.
