Programa detallado

The Coral Reef Restoration Volunteer Program begins with 1 week in Bali for orientation and campaign design, then continues in Gili Nanggu, West Lombok, offering a hands-on opportunity to directly support the conservation and restoration of vibrant coral ecosystems. Situated in the heart of Indonesia’s Coral Triangle, Gili Nanggu is home to diverse marine life and coral species that are essential for the health of the ocean.

As a volunteer, you will participate in coral restoration through coral planting, reef monitoring, and underwater cleaning. The program is designed to provide you with a deep understanding of coral ecosystems, their importance for ocean health, and the threats they face from climate change and human activity.

How the Program Works:

Coral Planting: You’ll help place coral fragments to rehabilitate damaged reefs, fostering growth and biodiversity.

Reef Monitoring: Volunteers conduct surveys to assess reef health, track regeneration, and document marine life dependent on the ecosystem.

Underwater Cleaning: Support efforts to remove debris and pollutants from coral areas, improving water quality and reef health.

Education and Training: Throughout the program, you’ll train with marine biologists and conservation experts on reef biology, ecosystem health, and sustainable protection practices.

The program follows morning and afternoon shifts, alternating between practical field activities and educational sessions. Experienced instructors will ensure your safety while underwater and provide valuable insights into the ecological role of coral reefs.

🕌 Cultural Guidelines for Volunteers in Bali & Lombok

Your volunteer journey begins with one week in Bali for orientation and campaign design, followed by seven weeks in Lombok to supervise projects. While both islands share many traditions, Lombok is more conservative due to its predominantly Muslim culture. Please follow these guidelines to ensure safety, respect, and a positive experience.

Respect attire rules in schools, mosques, and local homes. In Lombok, women should avoid revealing outfits.

Cover tattoos and limit visible piercings, especially in Lombok.

Remove shoes before entering homes, temples, or prayer areas.

Mind prayer times in Lombok; avoid loud noise near mosques. In Bali, be mindful of temple ceremonies.

Use your right hand for eating, giving, or receiving.

Ask permission before taking photos.

Greet locals respectfully, try basic local greetings, and enjoy traditional food.

Disclose your background truthfully; individuals with a criminal record cannot participate.

Note: To align with Lombok’s cultural norms, the program follows a “no public LGBTQ expression” policy.

Do not wear short, tight, transparent, or revealing clothes (especially in Lombok).
