LONGWOOD, Fla.; February 10, 2010—Recently the United Nations named 2010 the “International Year of Biodiversity” as a “celebration of life on earth and of the value of biodiversity for our lives” and a call to action for people around the world to safeguard the variety of life on earth. Biosphere Expeditions, an award-winning, non-profit organization that offers hands-on conservation volunteer expeditions, offers volunteer travelers around the world the opportunity to personally play a part in protecting the worlds’ biodiversity. Biosphere Expeditions’ volunteer expeditions provide a fun, life-changing adventure and real hands-on experiences of working on wildlife conservation volunteering projects. Travelers can participate in anything from a weekend project to expeditions lasting several months, and at least two-thirds of the volunteer contribution will go directly into the conservation project funding it in a long-term and sustainable manner. Biosphere Expeditions proves that any volunteer traveler can have a positive impact on local communities, wildlife, and the environment.
