An extensive annotated list of online resources provides access to hundreds of additional volunteer organizations. Two indexes help readers select organizations by geographical area and aid sector. Each entry includes a brief description, operational countries, required skills and languages, costs and benefits for volunteers, duration of service, and application procedures. Additionally, the Green Volunteers Guide presents over 200 conservation projects worldwide for those seeking hands-on experience. These year-round projects span various habitats and countries, lasting from one week to over a year, and involve wildlife research, rehabilitation, and work in national parks. Three indexes facilitate project selection by geographical location, animal species, or cost. Most projects welcome volunteers regardless of experience or language skills.
