Conservation expeditions
Documentaries and newspapers can make an impact, but for a powerful learning experience encourage your students to go on a conservation expedition.Conservation expeditions make a lasting impact
World Challenge conservation expeditions help valuable community projects to succeed by providing teams of willing and hard working volunteers. In return, conservation expeditions inspire young people to take an interest in the environment. |
Understanding how the natural environment should be, if humans weren’t around to disrupt it, is fascinating and rewarding. Watching monkeys in the treetops of Thailand and diving around the coral reefs of Honduras all have the power to make a lasting impression. Conservation expeditions help students understand why habitats are under threat and get them involved in minimising the damage. The focus is on responsible travel and the main outcome of the trip is an increased awareness into conservation issues and this can lead to real change across the world. |
Understand the environment on conservation expeditions
Conservation expeditions are educational expeditions that provide eye opening experiences and introduce students to new ways of looking at the world. It makes sense that if you don’t understand something you can’t fully appreciate it. When students learn to dive they step into a new world which they may never have thought about before. Sharks, coral and marine life all feel more precious and fragile to someone who is sharing their environment under the ocean. In the same way, trekking through the jungle on one of our jungle expeditions shows young people a finely balanced ecosystem that can easily be tipped by human intervention.Make a difference - encourage your students to go on a conservation expedition
