Meet the Explorers (Beheloka)
WWF, through its youth volunteer program Explore!, has contributed greatly to the development of young ambassadors for conservation. Launched in 2005 by WWF International, Madagascar has hosted over 100 volunteers since 2006. Explore! regularly gathers groups of six young volunteers from around the world for a three-month placement in field projects. Our volunteers are given the chance to experience firsthand the life of remote rural populations while contributing to frontline conservation and associated social-development programmes.
