💬 This Volunteer Day, we're sharing stories of those who dedicate themselves to helping others and preserving our planet. They are people who inspire faith in simple goodness and save lives, often while risking their own.

From rescuing a stranded kitten to helping someone locked out of their home, or assisting an elderly neighbour – good deed heroes are ready for anything. The Rescue Reserve responds to the emergency calls and treats every request with the utmost seriousness.

Deep in the Amazon, thousands of Indigenous people live far from any clinic, yet they have a doctor of their own. Neurosurgeon Erik Jennings provides vital medical aid to remote tribes in Brazil while also campaigning to protect the Amazon rainforest.

Meanwhile, activists from the ‘Clean Arctic’ project are conducting a major clean on Hayes Island. After the closure of old Soviet research bases, large amounts of hazardous waste were left behind, causing lasting damage to this fragile environment.

Other volunteers focus on rescuing art. At St Petersburg’s Hermitage, a team of volunteers assists with exhibitions, restoration work, and engaging visitors. And let's not forget the museum's secret helpers – the resident cats, who dutifully protect the priceless masterpieces from mice.

Then there are those who take to the seas. The ‘Sea Life Savers’ confront whalers and poachers. While some label them as 'pirates' or eco-terrorists, governments worldwide are increasingly cooperating with such patrols to save the inhabitants of our oceans.
