Through World Internships, we offer placements in the fields of Zoology and Conservation in Wellington, New Zealand. This is open to both interns and volunteers.

Animals around the world are facing new and dangerous changes to their environments predominantly caused by human intervention. This internship involves working in a stimulating and fun environment across a large number of areas, such as working in the Zoo School and educating visitors, doing animal watch, harvesting bugs, and even occasional cheetah walking.
