Resumo: Association is one of the leading nature conservation NGOs in Croatia, focussing on the protection of wild birds and their habitats. Since its establishment in 2006, the association has carried out numerous European and Croatian grant funded nature conservation projects on Croatian territory and accrued the support of over 400 paying members.

Association’s main objectives are as follows:
- Protection of nature by focus on species and habitats.
- Promoting public awareness about the importance of biodiversity and the threats which it faces.
- Promoting sustainability of development and the use of natural resources.
Association’s international importance in the field of nature conservation was recognised in both 2011 and 2013 when it became a partner of the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) and BirdLife International respectively – a standard which it continues to uphold with the support of the international community.

The association works with the general public, partner NGOs, Government bodies, and a wide range of other groups – such as stakeholders affected by projects – to advocate the adoption of higher standards regarding nature conservation. A significant aspect of the association’s work is to raise awareness of and educate the general public about nature conservation and the value of biodiversity. The target groups of the association’s activities are all people of all backgrounds. The association regularly holds local volunteering activities such as litter picking events, citizen science projects, activities open to international volunteers such as habitat restoration and ornithological volunteer camps in Nature Park, and public engagement events such as guided birdwatching days and school educational visits.

This long-term volunteering opportunity provides you with a unique chance to explore hidden landscapes during ornithological fieldwork, learn about public education and awareness-raising, and build solidarity between people and nature while contributing to a number of crucial conservation projects.
