Tiger research: Indonesia While sustainable tourism helps protect many of the Indonesia's wildlife, one of its rarest species, the Sumatran tiger, suffers as the island's cities expand into its forest habitat. Fortunately Biosphere Expeditions have created a trip that not only benefits the seriously endangered animal, but helps protect it too. Based in a remote camp in the heart of the rainforest, volunteers will be needed to tour the landscape, documenting tracks, kills and scats(粪便) to aid important research into the lives of these big cats.

Teaching: Morocco It's the breathtaking beauty that draws tourists to Morocco's High Atlas Mountains, but while the remoteness of the setting may aid its charm it also causes problems. Few inhabitants of the region's rural villages, especially females, continue their education past primary school. Education For All (EFA) is a Moroccan NGO that builds and runs girls' boarding houses near secondary schools in the High Atlas, making further education theoretically possible. Based in the beautiful town of Asni, the programme is looking for female volunteers with teaching experience.
