Volunteers Required (Cost AUS$200.00 per week)

PSDCF's volunteer program is unique when compared to other organisations' volunteer programs. It is unique because volunteers will experience living with the local coastal community where its natural resources are the once that we are trying to conserve. Recently, the PAMB (Protected Area Management Board) of the North-West Panay Peninsula Natural Park has granted PSDCF research permit inside the protected area. PSDCF and its volunteers are now allowed to study the Spotted Deer to confirm whether this endengared species is still there or has been locally extinct, to search for Rafflesia species, to identify the pitcher plant ( genus Nepenthes) that are present inside and outside the protected area, and to collect gps coordianates and explore the caves in the whole peninsula. This 2011 program will start from August and will continue until the end of the year. It will include a lot of jungle expeditions and trekking on foot. In between expeditions, volunteers can snorkel to explore the marine sanctuary infront of the accommodation and even continue the seagrass mapping activity.
