Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA)

Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA) is a not-for-profit organisation that recruits volunteers from Australia and around the world to work on a range of practical, on the ground, conservation projects. The partnership was formed in recognition of growing community interest in both conservation and volunteering. The partnership aims to develop programmes and tools to raise the standard of management of volunteer based conservation work around the world. CVA also has a number of relationships with Rio Tinto businesses, where new practices are being applied to manage volunteers on conservation projects around Rio Tinto sites.
