How can I volunteer with wildlife conservation projects in Gibraltar?

Question

Accepted Answer

The main routes are joining the Gibraltar Ornithological and Natural History Society (GONHS), volunteering at the Alameda Wildlife Conservation Park, and taking part in the Nautilus Project’s marine citizen science and beach clean-ups. Visitors can also contribute by recording sightings on the Nautilus Project’s NEMO app.
Gibraltar’s conservation work relies heavily on volunteers, and there are several ways to get involved.
The Gibraltar Ornithological and Natural History Society (GONHS), founded in 1976, is the Rock’s main natural history charity. Membership is open to anyone who shares its aims and includes free monthly outings. Members’ fees support the Raptor Rehabilitation Unit, the bird ringing station at Jews’ Gate Field Centre, habitat restoration and research. GONHS also runs public events such as EuroBirdwatch and International Bat Night.
The Alameda Wildlife Conservation Park, in the Botanic Gardens, was built largely by volunteers, and volunteers still help care for its animals and maintain the park. Contact the park directly to ask about current opportunities.
The Nautilus Project is a marine education charity that runs citizen science, marine monitoring and beach clean-up activities. Anyone can log marine sightings, including dolphins, turtles and invasive species, using its NEMO app.
Short-term visitors can help by recording sightings, joining a public event or donating. Longer stays give more scope for regular volunteering, so contact the organisations in advance to check what roles are available and whether training is needed.
