Conservation School Trips

Ecology, wildlife and animal care



Get your students engaged in a wide variety of hands-on activities that deepen their understanding of conservation, ecology, biodiversity, and environmental stewardship. In locations like Costa Rica, students can try practical field work such as biodiversity surveys of rainforest environments, looking at plant or wildlife data. Budding marine conservationists can experience programmes as far afield as the Indian Ocean, monitoring sea turtles, or helping with efforts to restore coral reefs.

Whichever subject your choose, a conservation school trip will give your students a better understanding and appreciation of the pressures that wildlife and natural environments face and how ecosystems respond to these imbalances.

These conservation projects in Environmental management, biodiversity research, and sustainable development offer schools the opportunity to get a hands-on experience that students will remember for a lifetime. Designed and tested to give your students specific learning outcomes, these wildlife conservation programmes below will give your group a real taste of conservation work in a range of diverse global locations.

Under the guidance of experienced conservationists and local project leaders, your students can engage in a wide variety of fun and educational activities themed around the topics of conservation. From conducting biodiversity surveys to animal rehabilitation surveys or sea turtle monitoring in the Caribbean, students can develop their field studies skills and contribute valuable data to these long running projects that help to protect species and habitats that are under pressure for a variety of reasons.
