Biodiversity Conservation Research Volunteering in Kalamos
There are two ways you can participate in our work. The first is by joining one of our pre-arranged activities for the field season. The second is by organizing an individual activity for each volunteer within one of our thematic work areas. We create a pre-agreed plan on an individual volunteer basis, which can include a mixture of both pre-arranged activities and individually organized work in one of our thematic areas. We currently have four pre-arranged activities: Building the Kalamos Island eco-community and experimental organic fruit and vegetable farm. Feral cat monitoring program for Kalamos, Kastos, and their satellite islands. Marine ecosystems monitoring program. Ornithological habitat surveys. The minimum time a volunteer can stay with us is 15 calendar days.
