Bird monitoring conservation project in Greece

The ecosystems of our area both on sea and land are under constant and geometrically increasing threat. We aim to conserve them through scientific work, community engagement and direct on the ground actions.

Here are a few things about our Bird Monitoring & Conservation Program:
- Volunteers participate in collecting bird behavior and general soundscape data from a variety of highly threatened habitats with the goal of contributing to the data driven conservation efforts of our organisation.
- The work consists of direct visit to these habitats (forest, scrub, agricultural land and others), which are primarily on the island of Kalamos, to record with direct observation the presence of individual birds species and the acoustic ecology of the environment in general.
- Field work for data collection but also data curation and analysis are potential tasks for this activity.

In addition to this volunteer project, we currently have three other pre-arranged activities. Feel free to contact us for more information on:

1.Building the Kalamos Island Eco-community and experimental organic fruit and vegetable farm

2.Feral cat monitoring program for Kalamos ,Kastos and their satellite islands

3.Marine ecosystem monitoring program

Volunteer selection process

We operate on a non discriminatory policy basis. People of all ages 18 or above can potentially join the program provided they can show the relative commitment and ethos. We try our best to fit what we do to the individual volunteer. We don’t separate people based on gender, ethnic origin, sexual orientation or religious belief.

Commitment to our cause is an essential characteristic of any volunteer. For us the ideal volunteer is a person that can turn a problem into a success.

We have a two stage application process whereby following the first stage of the application process of sending the form ,a second stage follows where a live interview is held via skype, telephone or in person.
