Ecoteer's aim is to globally facilitate and empower travelers for an impact on local community projects.
-----
Ecoteer was founded in 2005 by an environmental conservationist, Daniel Quilter, who after volunteering independently himself wanted more people to experience what he had when he conducted volunteer jobs and work abroad. The chance of conducting volunteer work abroad in an eco lodge in Borneo whilst helping the local community gave him belief that volunteer jobs can make a difference. He felt individual volunteer work effort is small but if you combine many volunteers actions as a whole this becomes quite substantial. Equally the opportunities he received through volunteer work abroad has propelled his career in environmental conservation. He has since returned to Malaysia to manage a marine and turtle volunteer work conservation project in Malaysia. Ecoteer volunteers often go back to the country where they had the pleasure to work as a volunteer. If more people had the same chance as he we would have a much greater chance of saving planet Earth.
