Add first reviewSince 2015

Do you dream of working directly with some of the world's most endangered wildlife? Gain firsthand experience in our husbandry program at our wildlife rescue facility in Laos. Our newly built site features huge soft-release enclosures for animals to be released into the wild. We also offer immersive viewing experiences for our visitors at non-release enclosures. Volunteers help care for over 200 animals on-site, working alongside our dedicated husbandry team in a truly multicultural environment. See what it takes to run a large, busy wildlife rescue facility in the tropics. You could be doing anything from feeding 100 crocodiles, building a new enclosure for leopard cats, making enrichment for our bears, and much more! No day is the same here, so you will leave feeling fully immersed in wildlife rescue and conservation. Our center is strictly hands-off, ensuring you are supporting an ethical sanctuary. Several successful breeding programs mean there are always baby animals to care for, giving you an experience like no other.
