Shell

Shell and Conservation Volunteers have been associated for much of the past 20 years, with Shell originally providing funding to support printing newsletters. In 2001 the association became much stronger with the formation of Shell Coastal Volunteers.

Shell EcoVolunteers builds on the work that was delivered through Shell Coastal Volunteers. The new project is designed to help increase the capacity of individuals, communities, targeted species and eco-systems to adapt to climate change.

The work of Shell EcoVolunteers will be focussed in three key locations:  Broome, Western Australia, Geelong, Victoria and in the Atherton Tablelands, Queensland.

Through the associated initiatives such as our climate change workshops and volunteering opportunities, the impact will be felt nationally.

Conservation Volunteers and Shell want to make a contribution to helping species and eco-systems increase their capacity to adapt to the effects of climate change. By getting involved in practical on-ground activities that build the eco-resilience of targeted species and eco-systems, we as individuals and communities can help maintain Australia's rich biodiversity.
