What you'll do
- Go through the list of shelters in a region and check their contact details
- Send them a short email presenting the Pro offer, free and with no strings attached
- Track replies in a shared sheet and flag the interested shelters to us

- Translate the new content we publish at the pace of our sprints
- Flag the mistranslations, typos and clumsy phrasings that automated tools miss

- Put together a short brief per opportunity: who they are, what they fund, average amounts, deadline

- Beginners welcome
Legal investigation into animal roadkill
Several hundred thousand animals die on French roads every year. French law handles this in a scattered way, across the Highway Code, Rural Code, Environmental Code and prefectoral orders. We're running a national investigation to map what the law says, what it leaves out, and where the levers are (wildlife crossings, signage, public statistics).
What you'll do
- Read and summarise targeted legal texts or case law
- Compare what exists in France with other European countries
- Contribute to a public white paper, signed Animalert, that will serve as an advocacy tool
Who it's forLegal curiosity, comfortable reading a piece of legislation. Law student, professional, or simply passionate. Beginners welcome, we'll guide you.
