Conservation Volunteers has partnered with individuals, businesses and governments in the conservation of our unique environment since 1982. In that time we have welcomed hundreds of thousands of volunteers from around Australia and across the world and supported their participation in a diversity of important projects to protect and enhance our environment.Conservation Volunteers has grown from humble beginnings in regional Victoria to become a national organisation with a permanent presence in 30 locations around Australia and New Zealand and a project presence in many countries around the world.Conservation Volunteers has built a network of people and organisations all of whom value our unique environment and recognise the increasingly important role that we all must play in responding to the challenges of species and habitat loss, environmental degradation, environmental skills shortages and the impact of a changing climate.
