A Year of Volunteering Changed How We See Everything

This video is part of an ongoing series documenting our volunteering and conservation work. In this episode, we look back at an entire year in the field — across 17 different projects, from small local actions to larger conservation efforts. Some of these projects worked better than we expected. Some barely worked at all. And some failed completely. Over 11 minutes, we honestly reflect on what we tried to do, what impact it had, what went wrong, and what we learned along the way. This isn’t a highlight reel or a celebration — it’s a realistic look at what volunteering actually looks like when you stay long enough to see both progress and limits. If you’re interested in conservation, volunteering, or simply trying to do something meaningful in an imperfect world, this video is part of that journey. ▶︎ Full volunteering & conservation series: • Saving Sharks from Bycatch — Why It Still Happens →    • What We Found in the Lab Will Change How Y...   • Wild Bees Were Disappearing — Until This Happened →    • Ireland’s Wild Bees Were Disappearing — Un...   • We Built These Islands to Save Birds from Extinction →    • We Built These Islands to Save Birds from ...   • Bringing extinct species alive - Hortobagy National Park→    • Bringing extinct species alive - Hortobagy...   • What Really Happens in Faroe Islands →    • I went to Grindadrap - Mass Killing of Dol...   • Watch the full Field Stories series →    • 🌍 Field Stories — We Go Where Nature Needs Us   Become a member of Be Brave To Act:   / bebravetoact   Donate via paypal : https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_...
