The annual volunteer programme was launched by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in collaboration with Con Dao National Park’s Management Board.

The volunteers are conducting meaningful works such as clearing rubbish on the coastline and sandy beaches, rescuing delivering sea turtles from childbirth, and developing propaganda to raise public awareness about protecting the marine environment.
