Organization:Operation Wallacea
Operation Wallacea (known as Opwall) is a United Kingdom biodiversity research organisation and volunteer tourism operator. Opwall organises expeditions designed around research projects on wildlife conservation, social science or protected area management aims.[1] Opwall operates in 13 countries: Indonesia, Croatia, Dominica, Ecuador, Fiji, Guyana, Honduras, Madagascar , Malawi, Mexico, Peru, South Africa , and Romania.[2]
Opwall has been characterised as "research ecotourism". Operations and research are funded by tuition fees paid by volunteers to join package expeditions and students who join to have undergraduate projects facilitated.[3]
The Wallacea Trust is another component of the organization, a social enterprise working on several conservation projects.[4]
