As a volunteer on this dynamic project you will help with conservation efforts of these two endangered animals. You will also be engaging with and providing aid to the indigenous Batek tribe through community projects. The inclusion of the local people is vital to the conservation of the wildlife corridors as essentially, the local people are the eyes and ears of the forest. You will join the local Batek tribe on foraging walks and camping in the rainforest as well as teach the children of their village English. Your adventure slows down a pace and as you head to the Perhentian Islands where you will be involved in essential photo identification research, as well as guarding turtle nesting beaches at night.

At night, you will visit turtle nesting beaches and help inform the fisheries staff when a turtle is nesting on the beach, preventing poachers from stealing the eggs.
