Zoology & Wildlife Science Internship Abroad

Calling all aspiring wildlife conservationists! If you want to experience working with animals, build skills in wildlife husbandry, and gain insight into nonprofit conservation work, this is the program for you. This internship places you in a wildlife sanctuary in the Alturas region of the Puntarenas province of Costa Rica, one of the most biodiverse, animal-dense areas in the world. This sanctuary is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and ultimately releasing, injured, sick, and orphaned wildlife. Whilst their aim is always to release the animal, in cases where this isn’t possible the sanctuary also serves as a refuge. As an intern, you will take responsibility for cleaning enclosures, feeding and administering enrichment, and helping out with the daily operations of the center. This will be the main focus of your work and where you will receive most training, but you’ll gain insight into all aspects of the sanctuary. As well as your wildlife husbandry duties, you’ll participate in animal restraint and capturing, managing onsite camera traps, conducting public tours, and facilitating educational lectures and workshops.

Help low-income Indigenous communities transition from deforestation and agrochemical use toward sustainable, regenerative farming. THE CHALLENGE Ecuador is the 8th most biodiverse country in the world. Although Bolívar Province hosts a wide variety of flora and fauna, it’s among the poorest. Malnutrition, illiteracy, and poverty remain high. Reliance on agrochemicals has degraded soils and polluted water. Native forests have been replaced by fields and eucalyptus trees, biodiversity has plummeted, and landslides are frequent. Since the war in Ukraine, agrochemical prices have soared while produce prices stay stagnant. THE SOLUTION Change is essential, but government support is scarce. Our mission is to foster socioeconomic growth while restoring fragile ecosystems. Bring your passion and expertise to help local farmers build a more sustainable, meaningful, and prosperous future through this internship. OUR METHODOLOGY Our internships use Design Thinking to co-create solutions with local partners. You will learn to observe, ideate, and prototype in real contexts. On weekends, before and after your stay, you can explore Ecuador, from the Amazon to the Galápagos.
