When it comes to conservation, many people decide that they are happy to help in saving the world's creatures. All too many of these people, however, want to help out with the cute, fluffy animals and don't give much time to those that they see as being dangerous or ugly. Shark conservation, however, is a huge issue and keeping certain species of shark alive is a very important matter.

Our society has many downfalls, but perhaps one of our biggest downfalls is that we are wasteful. Incredibly wasteful actually. Our lives are spent wasting time, energy, and emotion on people and activites that do nothing for us. We sit down to a meal and fill our plates with more food than we could possibly eat and the leftovers get wasted. We drive our cars to work and play without thinking of the gasoline that is being used irresponsibly.
Valentine's Day has long been an internationally celebrated day of romance. Though the history of this occasion is shrouded in mystery, one of the more popular tales of its origin goes back to the rule of Emperor Claudius II. According to some historians, the Emperor was of the opinion that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and children. He therefore banned marriage for his young soldiers. However, the romantic Valentine continued to marry young lovers in secret. Many years later we remember this Saint with cards, chocolates and flowers, but perhaps this year you'd like to celebrate a little less traditionally.
Although the subject of wildlife conservation is fairly high profile, with gap year placements and volunteer tourism holidays becoming more and more common, there are still many projects around the world that are struggling to maintain enough funding and manpower to survive. So, once you decide that a wildlife conservation holiday is what you want to do, how do you choose where to go, and who to save? Is any one animal more important than another? Is any one in greater imminent danger than the rest? What an agonising decision to make! In order to weigh everything up, wouldn't it be great if you could have a chat with each of the animals and let them plead their case...

Hopefully you'll forgive the rather obvious pun of the title because shark conservation breaks offer the possibility of a fantastic and rewarding 'new experience'. Perhaps the use of the word 'shark' has just sent you diving for cover behind the couch with a blanket over your head! If so, there's a fair chance that you'll have grown up seeing endless re-runs of 'JAWS' and similar epics where sharks were portrayed as just about the worst imaginable enemies of humankind. It's also fair to say that there is often virtual media hysteria when there is any incident involving a shark anywhere in the world. Yet the reality is rather different.
It's THAT time of year again. In the lead up to Christmas, even the sanest among us seem to go a little crazy. The crowds, the costs, the canapes and the cocktail parties... isn't it just a little too over the top sometimes? This year, wouldn't it be nice to eschew the traditional family fracas and head off to warmer climes where the guests around the dinner table are a little 'wilder' than Aunty Madge flinging off her cardie to a rousing rendition of 'All I want for Christmas'? Taking time out to volunteer for some animal conservation work in an exotic faraway land is a novel way to spend the festive season - and a worthwhile cause to boot.
