What are Environmental Internships?

In practical terms, the environment is a part of sustainable development: a way of organising society to allow it to live in the long term. This involves working on present and future imperatives, such as the conservation of the environment and natural resources or economic and social equity.

Sustainable development takes into account three dimensions:

  • economic
  • environmental
  • social

 

The raison d'être of sustainable development is to be at the crossroads of these 3 pillars.

Sustainable development therefore is concerned with the environment, but not only this: it focuses on people and the protection of animal life as well. It is about preserving ecosystems.

Environmental internships provide hands-on experience in sustainability, conservation, and environmental policy, helping individuals develop practical skills while contributing to global ecological efforts.

How do Environmental Internships Protect Ecosystems?

An ecosystem brings together the flora and fauna of a region. All of our environmental internships abroad aim to contribute to the conservation of these ecosystems, in different ways.

In real terms, the actions carried out are:

  • Data collection
  • The installation of cameras to follow the daily life of animals
  • Beach cleaning on coastal projects
  • Animal movement monitoring
  • The restoration of natural habitat
  • Raising community awareness of environmental issues

 

Raising local awareness makes it possible to have a lasting impact on the region, by encouraging communities to take environmental strategies into account in their daily lives. All of the data collected during the environmental internship is also used by local and sometimes national authorities to implement the best conservation strategies.
