Volunteer at a Wildlife Rescue Center in Indonesia

Volunteer to help save the wildlife of Asia in this program based in Indonesia. The Indonesian Wildlife Rescue Center is located on the exotic island of Sulawesi. This project is a rescue, rehabilitation, and release center for animals saved from the illegal wildlife trade. Without a sustainable rescue facility, authorities are not able to enforce, raid, and confiscate live animals as there are few existing transition centers. Many animals arrive in a stressed and neglected state, thus the need for rehabilitation and veterinary care to bring them back to health. The minimum age for volunteers is 18. No previous experience or qualifications are necessary, but we do require participants to be respectful and open-minded about the cultural differences they encounter in Indonesia. They must be reasonably fit as the work can be demanding under the tropical heat. The ability to speak English is required. Volunteers must have a similar ideology to the mission of the project. Wildlife trainers and those who exploit wildlife for the benefit of people are not suitable for this project.
