Travel Tree City/State: Borneo Country: MALAYSIA Conservation projects in Borneo REQUEST MORE INFORMATION »» Global Vision International 3 High Street St Albans Herts UNITED KINGDOM AL3 4ED Phone: 01727 250 250 www.gvi.co.uk Program description: This community volunteer project in Borneo gives you the opportunity to get involved in providing sustainable local income by helping set up community-based ecotourism. Working with a local organization, you will help develop nature interpretation trails, work on current building projects, and participate in wildlife surveys while immersed in the incredible and diverse rainforest of the Lower Kinabatangan. There is also some need for help to teach basic IT skills and English. This project gives those who choose to volunteer in Borneo the chance to help both the local communities and contribute to the conservation of the local environment, by building and promoting business which work with the environment, rather than in opposition to it, and by making this fantastic environment a great attraction that ecotourists will come to enjoy. *How this program makes a difference* This initiative aims to increase sustainable alternative sources of income for local indigenous people by providing ecotourism opportunities. In addition to this, GVI volunteers help save and restore habitats for rare and threatened wildlife species, such as orangutans, gibbons, proboscis monkeys, elephants and otters. Volunteers help sustain ongoing habitat restoration work, such as forest habitat restoration and wetland lake restoration. These efforts provide critical habitats for food, movement and nesting structures, and link forest and wetland waterways.
