Conservation volunteer programs are an extraordinary opportunity to secure the future of at-risk wildlife. Many of the wildlife species we work with on projects, like the Black Rhinos of our Zimbabwe programs, are endangered or vulnerable. Here’s a brief overview of how you can volunteer abroad to support African wildlife, including endangered animals, on our projects!
Data Collection and Research
Our data collection programs take you on game drives into the heart of Africa’s landscapes, where you’ll have unforgettable encounters with African animals and wildlife. Here, you’ll record essential data on their health, migration patterns and behaviours. Working with our research team, you’ll add your observations to databases that are foundational to informing sustainable conservation efforts.
Physical Conservation Projects
Time to get your hands dirty in volunteer work! On our projects there are always plenty of rewarding volunteer opportunities to practice physical wildlife conservation techniques. These modest conservation tasks, such as removing invasive species, significantly improve wildlife habitats and support healthy populations.
Community Education
Our wildlife conservation programs often integrate volunteer opportunities to participate in community education campaigns. Through these programs, volunteers will collaborate with locals to raise awareness for the importance of wildlife conservation. Community education is an incredible way to share your passion for conservation with the next generation of environmentalists!
Animal Care
Calling all animal lovers! Volunteering in animal care is a life-changing experience that’ll make massive impacts on local wildlife’s health. On programs like our Wildlife Rehabilitation Project in South Africa, your volunteer work will consist of caring for impaired wildlife, with the ultimate goal of rehabilitating animals to release back into the wild.
