Ecovolunteering is a form of participative eco-tourism committed to the planet, in France or abroad. You give your time, several hours a day, to a biodiversity preservation association.
Scientific travel is an adventure that combines tourism and scientific projects, based on participatory science. By taking part in a scientific trip, you give your time to a research project. During your stay, you will be trained and accompanied by a researcher and/or science educators.
Our training courses are designed for all enthusiasts who want to learn more about biodiversity. They can also be the start of a professional career.
