Biodiversity Business

Biodiversity Business is a non-profit organisation that connects people with wildlife conservation through eco-travel, volunteering, internships and education. It offers opportunities in destinations including Bangladesh and Laos, with activities focused on veterinary placements, marine conservation and wildlife conservation. Travellers can choose experiences involving species such as tigers, sun bears, sea turtles, orangutans, gibbons and Asian elephants.

The organisation works with operators and grassroots conservation partners, aiming to make each placement beneficial to wildlife and local communities. Its approach emphasizes professional standards, science-based conservation, personal relationships and fair pricing. Biodiversity Business says that 80% of fees go directly to the conservation projects it supports and that it has channelled more than £90,000 to partners over the past decade.

Its programmes are designed for people seeking meaningful travel, practical experience or a pathway into conservation careers. By combining field-based opportunities with a focus on responsible tourism, the organisation helps participants take part in conservation while supporting the communities and partners involved
