Volunteers help restore coral reefs and forests in Tanzania and Scotland
Readers shared their experiences of conservation tourism projects involving coral restoration in Tanzania and forest rewilding in the Scottish Highlands.
Coral restoration project in Tanzania
The Ropes of Hope operates within the Mafia Island marine park off Tanzania. Jean de Villiers, a South African molecular biologist, leads research on an underwater coral gene bank. Participants stay in ocean-view tree houses while helping to regrow shrinking reefs instead of just diving on them.
Rewilding efforts in Scottish Highlands
Trees for Life has run a rewilding project for 40 years across the Caledonian forest. Groups of up to 10 adults stay in bothies to plant trees and monitor wildlife. Volunteers work in remote locations like Glen Affric without wifi or fancy frills.
