    Typisk dag

    Immerse yourself in an extraordinary experience that combines adventure, ecological research, and conservation efforts. The Lemur Experience & Conservation Project is dedicated to preserving the exceptional biodiversity, with a special focus on the unique lemur population of Nosy-Be, Madagascar. Join us in this impactful endeavor, designed specifically for participants with a passion for ecological research and conservation work.

    Madagascar’s lemurs have faced numerous challenges in recent years, including deforestation, habitat degradation, and poaching, leading to a decline in their populations. Our conservation project in Nosy-Be aims to tackle these issues head-on through habitat restoration, population monitoring, and community awareness campaigns in our program locations.

    As a participant, you will have the remarkable opportunity to closely interact with various lemur species, making it a dream come true for wildlife enthusiasts. In addition to fulfilling daily responsibilities such as feeding lemurs and maintaining their surroundings, you will actively contribute to the creation of an evolving database, under the guidance of experienced researchers. Each lemur’s information, including age, sex, breeding patterns, behavior, identification markers, and physical characteristics, will be meticulously recorded and consolidated.

    Moreover, your efforts will support the park’s veterinarian in providing appropriate care for each resident. Your fluency in English will also enable you to enhance visitors’ awareness of the lemurs within the sanctuary.

    In conjunction with your hands-on involvement, you will play a crucial role in creating impactful awareness campaigns targeted at educating the local community about the significance of protecting the lemur population and its fragile habitat.

    Embark on this rewarding journey, where your contributions will make a tangible difference in safeguarding the lemurs of Nosy-Be. Join us as we strive to protect these enchanting creatures and inspire a collective commitment to their preservation.

    You will play a critical role in the well-being of lemurs in a controlled environment & conservation efforts in Nosy Be. Your contribution helps us to protect this unique environment and its inhabitants. Before you begin your volunteer work, it is essential to understand your role, responsibilities, and expectations.

    Your general duties will include the following:

    • Assist in the food preparation and feeding the lemurs.
    • Assist in cleaning the areas where the lemurs are
    • Assist in the care of other species in the sanctuary.
    • Create, add and follow-up the database of the lemurs and other species that inhabit the sanctuary (Age, sex, breeding, daily behaviour, identification markers & physical characteristics)
    • Create, add and follow-up (the growth) the database of flora at project locations.
    • Converse and offer insights with visitors coming to the sanctuary in English.
    • Create a seamless handover on this program for the next batch of participants to continue evolving this program in Nosy Be under the guidance of the subject matter expert from TGL.

    Who we are

    Global Nomadic empowers positive change by connecting people with projects

    Global Nomadic was founded in 2008 with one clear goal – to empower change by connecting people. We believe real change can only come about when people are able to find the right opportunities with the right organisations. Over the past years, we have grown to offer high-quality international internships in a wide range of professional fields, but our aim is still the same; connecting people with projects.

    We provide aspiring young professionals with exactly what is needed to set them apart in the very competitive world we live in. We exist to help you further your career through educational international work experience placements, but also to help NGOs around the world carry out their community-building work, by connecting them with you. By working with local NGOs, charities, and communities you will gain excellent experience and valuable skills, aiding you to further your ambitions – whilst making a difference where it’s needed most.

    This world is not a perfect place – and we don’t claim to be able to fix it. But what we can do is provide a bridge between you and the people who can. Our mission is to work towards a better and more stable world by connecting people with projects. We believe we work better together than apart. We believe travel and exposure to other cultures, beliefs and ways of life are the best ways to achieve this. We believe you can travel the world and travel your career.

    What we do

    We provide access to vetted, worthwhile international internships in a wide range of professional fields.

    We work in a range of different fields from veterinary medicine and environmental conservation to journalism, public health, business development and education – matching you with reputable, worthwhile organisations around the world. Unlike many other volunteer organisations, we have personally visited and vetted our project partners, to ensure you a safe and worthwhile international experience.

    We also choose to only work with partners whose projects contribute to their local community in a sustainable manner. We do not support, nor advocate orphanage tourism or irresponsible wildlife conservation projects. Our aim is to help our project partners focus on their core work by offering an easy way to find committed interns and volunteers to support their daily activities.

    Our volunteers

    Global Nomadic is a trusted community meeting space connecting people with NGO projects around the world.

    We also offer helping you to source and organise the best flights, insurance, visas and all the many other things you will need before you reach your project destinations, including country guides, packing lists and much more! We want to make sure that you have the volunteering time of your life.

    Global Nomadic personally visits all volunteer sites to ensure a quality experience for volunteers. You will receive support before, during and after your placement.
