Wildlife Volunteering Abroad
Wildlife volunteers experience a truly unique journey by getting up-close to some of the world’s most endearing creatures in exotic locations. As a wildlife volunteer you can get your hands dirty by helping to clear trails, or roll your sleeves up to cater for the daily needs of animals - whether it’s feeding baby lions in a Lion Park in South Africa, dolphin conservation in South Africa, or putting your thinking cap on for developing educational literature programmes to help support Pandas in China.
With much focus on communities abroad and catering to the needs of underprivileged people, we don’t see why animals can’t be helped in equal measure. For this reason, we host a wealth of overseas wildlife volunteer projects that benefit our fellow creatures across the globe. i-to-i volunteers who choose wildlife conservation make an integral contribution to the wellbeing and future of these animals and their natural habitats.
You don’t need to be an animal expert to volunteer for our wildlife volunteer projects. A genuine love of animals and an enthusiasm to help is all you need to make a vital contribution to the well-being and future of animals across the planet; some of which are rare and endangered and desperately need our support. There are also unique opportunities to get close to rare species, with specialist wildlife conservation projects including sea turtle conservation in Costa Rica.
