Environmental Conservation: Philippines is a volunteer placement in Palawan, from £275 a week per person with a £250 deposit. You work on replanting and protecting the mangroves of Tigman Village, a vital habitat for local marine life. Stays run 1-12 weeks and suit travellers aged 20-45. Start dates run from 23 August 2026.
Volunteering for 2 weeks in Palawan was definitely a decision well made. The people I met and the knowledge I acquired from the environmental program will come along with me. I will also cherish the quiet moments, conversations and karaoke nights for as long as I live. This is a great place to humble yourself and to serve others in whatever way you can. Maraming salamat po!

Mangroves, mahogany and… the Miracle Tree? This conservation program will see you help restore swathes of these local, indigenous trees. Mangroves are nature’s barriers against damaging coastal erosion and storm surges, protecting land far inshore from the worst effects of increasingly violent ocean storms. Mahogany, famed for it’s use in furniture but lesser known for its seeds’ health benefits (lower cholesterol anyone?!), has been severely depleted on Palawan. Finally, the Miracle Tree - or Moringa - provides a wide range of traditional medicinal benefits and culinary options, containing many vitamins and minerals that help heal the body and soul.
The weekend is time for you to spread your wings a little if you’re up for it. We’ve equipped you with some language basics, and introduced you to the local cuisine…now let's see where that can get you! You’re free to organise any adventure you care to, or simply chill ahead of the volunteer work. We can offer advice on where to go if you need it.
Discover Palawan, a biodiverse haven with stunning seascapes, and help conserve its precious mangroves. Join our project to educate future generations and plant Moringa and Mahogany trees for their multitude of benefits. Strengthen coastal barriers, reduce erosion, and promote environmental awareness. Bring your fitness, enthusiasm, and passion for change to make a lasting impact on Palawan's environment and community! Note: Tidal changes may affect task schedules.
