    Om programmet

    The park is dedicated to conserving native species, featuring the largest enclosed wild fauna in the country. It houses 375 species, including rare animals like lynxes and Iberian wolves, and various native plants. The park also employs a significant number of staff with disabilities or chronic illnesses, showcasing its commitment to inclusivity.

    When volunteering in winter, prepare for lower temperatures between 40-60°F (5-15°C) and bring warm clothing. In summer, expect temperatures between 77-100ºF (25-38ºC) and wear comfortable, light clothing. The project is based in an ecological park in Miranda do Corvo, a historic town in the old district of Coimbra, central Portugal. It’s about 4 hours from Lisbon by public transport or a 2.5-hour drive by car.

    • Wildlife Conservation: Help care for animals and maintain their enclosures.

    • Nature Preservation: Participate in general nature preservation tasks.

    • Animal Care: Assist in feeding the animals and checking their water supplies.

    • Farm and Riding School: Help in the Pedagogical Farm and the Riding School.

    • Nature Preservation: Engage in tasks like cutting trees and building fences.

    Why Join?

    • Make an Impact: Contribute to wildlife conservation and environmental preservation.

    • Gain Experience: Develop skills in animal care and park maintenance.
