Our mission is to facilitate the success of environmental campaigns by creating a powerful networking tool for activists and volunteers, including travelers, experts and organizations.

Perangua is an online platform that connects environmental activists and their allies, who may be able to assist with their campaigns. We bring global attention to local campaigns and provide useful, professional, and personalized help to all activists protecting nature and local communities. We encourage travelers to identify campaigns they can support, grow their activism, and seek self-improvement by gaining in-depth knowledge in environmental conservation.

In Perangua we believe that a network of activists and conscious travelers can make a change in every remote place of the world.

Perangua is an independent initiative developed by a group of friends coming from a range of backgrounds and countries including Bulgaria, Spain, France, Poland and the Netherlands. What unites them is a passion for the world and its diversity, a deep-rooted need to contribute to preserving its natural heritage and communities, and a core belief that, by uniting behind shared values of sustainability, diversity and inclusivity, we can create a movement powerful enough to drive positive change for all.

Most environmental campaigns lack significant resources to have any chance to challenge large corporations and governments putting pressure on our ecosystems and endangering our world heritage. As an expert or professional specialized in one or several fields of activity you can provide valuable knowledge and knowhow to campaigns all over the world.

On each campaign page you can see the specific type of expertise needed to better understand the local context, conduct appropriate studies and carry out an effective plan of action. By offering your help to campaigners you ensure they can be better equipped to uphold environmental as well as social and inclusive standards and practices

The fields of expertise campaigners are looking for include (but are not limited to):

  • Ecology
  • Renewable energies
  • Hydropower
  • Construction
  • Sustainable development
  • International development
  • Project and event management
  • Monitoring and evaluation
  • Research and analysis
  • Communication management
  • Social media management
  • Journalism
  • Etc.
