Act for a future free of plastic pollution and help protect the natural treasures of Indonesian Islands

In the heart of the Coral Triangle, the Konawe region, in the southeast of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, is home to exceptional terrestrial and marine biodiversity. However, this ecosystem is now seriously threatened by the accumulation of plastic waste in the waters and on the beaches. The lack of waste treatment infrastructure increases the ecological and health pressure on local populations and their environment.

In response to this emergency, a sustainable plastic waste management project has been launched in coastal villages, with the goal of improving plastic recovery and protecting marine ecosystems.

Your role as an ecovolunteer:

You will actively take part in key project missions, working alongside local communities:

- Waste management: Collecting waste in villages, on beaches, and along fringing reefs; sorting and recycling it in a local workshop.

- Awareness workshops: Organizing sessions in schools and communities to raise awareness about the health and environmental dangers of plastic.

- Coral reef monitoring: Snorkeling activities to observe reef conditions and collect scientific data essential for ecological monitoring.

- Coastal reforestation: Planting mangroves to help restore fragile ecosystems, based on identified needs.

- If you have artistic or audiovisual skills, you can also create a visual logbook or produce content to help raise awareness about the beauty and fragility of these environments.

Supervision and organization:

The missions are overseen by an experienced local team, who prepare the protocols and activities about a month before departure, based on actual needs in the field.

You will be immersed in remote and authentic areas, discovering a new culture and richly diverse natural ecosystems. This experience requires flexibility and an open mind!
