Dedicate weeks of your time to caring for vulnerable animals and ensuring that endangered species are monitored and protected.
A large proportion of animals around the world are particularly vulnerable to harm and suffering. Despite their size and strength many are at a loss to defend themselves from the harsh conditions in the wild. However, with the help of committed volunteers around the world, these animals can escape an eventual destiny of being seen only as images in history books... or worse, as tourist attractions on 'Disneyfied' safaris!
Many of our animal conservation projects deal specifically with caring and protecting wildlife as well as educating local communities about the fundamental aspects of animal conservation. From working with cheetahs in South Africa and crocodiles in India to the African Big 5 (Lions, African Elephants, Cape Buffalos, Leopards and Black Rhinoceros') - if you're passionate about caring for animals, then we have a number of animal conservation programmes that will tick all your boxes.
