Oceans 2 Earth Offering The Best of Wildlife Volunteering Opportunities

MELBOURNE, Australia - Sept. 7, 2018 - PRLog -- Oceans 2 Earth volunteers provides adventure travel as well as volunteering experiences to ethically-minded, and animal lovers. It is involved in projects like Koala bear conservation in Australia.

O2E believes that the mode to save issues of environmental destruction and animal mistreatment is to offer people the chance to interact and contribute such that they gain a personal culture of responsibility towards global conservation. O2E connect volunteers from across the globe that wish to travel, enjoy and help. They can interact with persons of diverse cultures sharing common values.

O2E projects are not-for-profit and non-governmental organizations that benefit significantly from volunteers. These projects are mostly funded by donations and contributions by volunteers.

Above all, O2E is a responsible travel organization. It is a non-religious, non-political organization working for the well-being of the environment and animals. Its strong point is to be an ethically-minded travel organization with a primary focus on environmental protection and animal welfare.

Many volunteer organizations have been set up in recent times claiming to place volunteers in animal welfare and community projects. But O2E casts doubts on the kind of work they do and their commitment to the welfare of animals, environment and the local community.

As per recent studies, many of such organizations have a negative impact on the local community as well as animal care and most do not pass on financial contributions of volunteers to the community or the project. Some animal welfare projects are commercial ventures, which abuse and exploit animals.

Conservation volunteers leave after planting nurseries, only to result in them withering within a few days. The venture of elephant riding has a negative impact on elephants that are primarily evolved to thrive in the wild.

In fact, the term 'Voluntourism' has emerged to define the growing number of volunteer projects which result in little value for the so-called beneficiaries. Such projects only provide photo-opportunities and warm fuzzy feelings for the volunteer. Many volunteerism operators are travel agents, who wish to milk the growing market for volunteering.

O2E was set up and is managed by volunteers. It was launched with one aim i.e. to build up partnerships between individuals and conservation and animal welfare organizations.

For instance, there is the Koala welfare project in Barwon Heads, Victoria, Australia. Volunteers can work from 1 to 12 weeks by contributing 600 Australian Dollars, which will be used to help the animals in the sanctuary. This koala sanctuary Australia was set up 30 years back as a haven for injured birds, animals, and sea life. Visit at: https://www.oceans2earth.org/
