Environmental volunteering in the Ebro Delta

The Ebro Delta is one of the most important natural areas in Europe, and one of the main ones in the Western Mediterranean. However, there are threats that make it necessary to work on its conservation. This implies working with the community, associations and local administrations, but also the involvement of European citizenship. The work of youth volunteering is a key element in this process

SEO/BirdLife, the Spanish Ornithological Society, is the oldest environmental NGO in Spain. Founded in 1954, our mission has remained the same ever since: with birds as our banner, we want to conserve biodiversity with the participation and involvement of society.

The main objective of the ESC project is for young people from Europe to participate in the program of environmental volunteering activities that SEO / BirdLife develops in the Ebro delta and its protected Natural areas, living together and in solidarity with a community characterized by a culture and traditions deeply rooted and integrating into a group of local volunteers.

The programmed actions will be developed in natural protected areas and anthropized spaces of great environmental and socio-cultural value. Through development of the different activities (restoration and habitat conservation campaigns, awareness, environmental education, promotion of ecotourism, wildlife census and scientific bird ringing) and through awareness days, young people participating in the ECS project will have the opportunity to know the cultural wealth of the municipalities of the Ebro delta and Catalonia.
