Company description Global Vision International (GVI) was formed in 1998 to provide support and services to international charities, non profits and governmental agencies. Through our international network of over 100 personnel in over 30 countries GVI continues to support many of the most critical conservation and humanitarian projects around the globe.
GVI is a non-political, non-religious organisation, which through its alliance with aid-reliant organisations throughout the world provides opportunities to volunteers to fill a critical void in the fields of environmental research, conservation, education and community development. To date over 5000 volunteers have joined projects resulting in the direct financial support of over UK£2,500,000 / US $4,000,000.
*GVI sends over 1500 Volunteers away every year to aid-reliant projects worldwide.
*Volunteers come from a range of different backgrounds and from all over the world.
*Qualifying international charities, non profits and governmental agencies are eligible for GVI’s services free of any charge.
*GVI’s mission is to offer qualifying projects the necessary financial and volunteer assistance required to achieve their goals in conservation and community development. The project’s research rights and successes remain with the organisations supported.
*GVI staff members are of the highest calibre, from the office personnel to the staff in the field. Expedition staff are fully trained as full-time members of the GVI team. GVI does not use the services of contract personnel, short term workers or part time leaders on expeditions.
*GVI’s UK office personnel visit expeditions and projects regularly to ensure that safety protocols are maintained, goals are kept in focus, volunteers are enjoying their experiences, and to develop new, exciting and fulfilling volunteer opportunities. By visiting the expeditions and projects personally the office staff can provide the most accurate information possible to potential volunteers.
*GVI is one of the most well respected and prominent international volunteering organisations in the UK and USA. GVI volunteering opportunities have been featured in various international newspapers and magazines, including The Times (London), The Independent (London), The Guardian (London), Geographical Magazine, BBC Wildlife Magazine and various International Television Programmes including a six part series on the Sky Travel channel and the BBC Holiday Programme.

The list below highlights some of our core commitments to you:
*Knowledge: All GVI staff visit the project sites regularly, and have all volunteered (and traveled) themselves, so they have an in depth knowledge about the project, destination, other things to do and see as well as advice on travel issues and what to take.

Location description: We provide expeditions all over the world. Some words about one:
*Mexican Marine Conservation Expedition In Pez Maya
Global Vision International’s longest running marine expedition offers an array of marine research projects combined with local community interaction and breathtaking scenery in Mexico’s first biosphere reserve. The ambitious coral reef research and community education expeditions support and assist the work of local non-profits including Amigos de Sian Ka’an (ASK), the local state university of Quintana Roo (UQR), and the National Commission for the Conservation of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP), as well as international NGO’s and universities on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef Survey.
The expedition base at Pez Maya is ideal for expedition members with no previous diving experience. As well as receiving dive training, expedition members will learn about marine conservation, participate in a variety of marine conservation initiatives and enjoy the experience of scuba diving on the second largest barrier reef in the world.
Expedition Aims:
*Coral Reef and Fish monitoring surveys
*Daily sea turtle nesting surveys (seasonal)
*Underwater sea turtle sighting surveys.
*Training local fishermen and guides in English Language, diving and survey techniques to aid sustainable development.
*Developing the expedition base as an Ecological Research and Awareness Centre and a Children’s Education Centre.

*Conduct activities on behalf of our local partners, Amigos de Sian Ka’an and others, sharing all data to help them achieve their aims.
