Program Details

We aim to bring volunteers from all over the world to support the rangers in protecting the wildlife and helping the local community develop sustainable means of living. In the past years, there has been a growing number of dedicated people of all ages and of various nationalities who have really made a difference to this area. Volunteers provide practical help by bringing a lot of different skills and new ideas to the community, from which many people here can benefit – whether this is specialist knowledge about biology, languages, trees, birds, healthcare There are many tasks in which volunteers simply provide some very much appreciated extra man-power for the rangers, like when looking for poachers´ snares on foot patrols, chasing cattle back into the grazing area or planting trees with school children or tourists.

Activities & Shift

1. Ranger patrols. The volunteer helps the rangers in doing morning patrol as they go around the conservation area and as they check if there is any abnormality for wildlife. They carry with them a SMART enabled phone, where they get to mark the GPS of different wild animals, for the study of their dispersal and movement patterns.
2. Community Outreach. Volunteers help the liaison office in engaging in programmes meant to give back to the community. Based on the volunteers’ interests and area of specialization, the organization will arrange an activity which will match their skills and facilitate on how they can use their skills to benefit the community needs.
3. School visits. The volunteers, in the accompany of the liaison officer or a ranger, will interact with a primary school, and help in teaching, playing with the kids, preparing meals for the kids and other activities.
