Biosphere Expeditions, Norwich, England

What It Is: A nonprofit whose partnerships with top research institutions are bringing serious results for 11 conservation programs around the world.

How It Works: Volunteer travelers select their project and are trained on-site in telemetry studies, animal tracking, and more. (Biosphere channels two-thirds of trip costs to the effort.) Past successes include the creation of two protected areas for migratory birds and snow leopards in Eastern Europe and Asia.

Take the Trip: Tag and release threatened marsupials on a new excursion in Western Australia. Nine days from $2,030 per person.
