    Sobre o programa

    Help create a positive and safe environment for many endangered species, many of which have been part of the darker side of Thailand's tourism trade.

    The wildlife sanctuary in Thailand was started back in 2001 and is spread across seven acres.

    Sobre o programa

    The wildlife sanctuary in Thailand was started back in 2001 and is spread across seven acres. As a sanctuary for mistreated animals, the facility mainly takes care of those that are sick or handicapped, which tends to include a lot which have been kept as pets or used within the tourism industry. For example, the project has a crocodile who became too big for his owner to keep at his home, whereas there are also two elephants who were used in the tourist industry for many years. Once the animals are nursed back up to full strength they are, where possible, released back into the wild.

    Unfortunately, for numerous reasons, some are not able to be released so they will stay in the sanctuary. Some animals are born on site and spend their entire lives there. For these animals, living in the wild is just not possible due to becoming used to a certain way of life around their parents, which is why the educational side of the foundation is so important. They visit children in local schools, in the hope that by passing on knowledge, the future generations can take better care of wildlife.

    Endangered species worldwide depend on the help and protection of animal rights activists. In Thailand, greed, corruption and above all, a low level of education are the causes for a decrease in specie numbers. Also, due to a lack of awareness across the country of the need to conserve plants and the environment due to the role they play for the habitats, our animal friends need as much help as we can give them!

    You’ll have the chance to take an active role in protecting endangered species and also support the team in educating the local population. You'll find quite the mix of animals, from monkeys, bears and birds, through to elephants and wolves.

    Alojamento

    You'll live in a shared bungalow with, at most, one or two other participants. At the main house, there is a large terrace area, with a main table where you can eat and spend time with the other volunteers. It's a great place to chill out, or even catch a bit of sun! There's also a kitchen, where your lunch and dinner are cooked. For your breakfast there is a variety of foods available. When you move in, the cleaning staff will come to clean the bungalow. Afterwards you and your flatmates are responsible for the cleanliness of the bungalow. There are plenty of power outlets in the bedrooms and you can use the Wi-Fi in the kitchen. You will share a bathroom with cold water only. To make it easier for you to explore the beaches nearby, it is possible to rent a scooter near the location and get to know the area. 



    Alimentos e Bebidas

    You'll eat in a similar way to the locals and the local cuisine, so expect to get to know new foods and delicacies! You're provided with breakfast, lunch and dinner in a buffet style throughout the work week, and there's also a communal kitchen available if you ever fancy a little nibble! If you do have any dietary requirements, please let us know about them as far in advance as possible, and we will do our best to accommodate them, or we will inform you if the local area can't.

    As soon as you arrive at the project, you will be welcomed by the local team. They'll show you your new accommodation, as well as introduce you to the house rules, your tasks, local medical facilities and more.

    2017 at Wildlife Conservation Worker

    I had the opportunity to spend two months in Thailand from October 2017 to mid-December 2017. I spent four weeks working in an elephant conservation project and then four weeks (at the same location) in a wildlife conservation project. To say it in advance, overall I liked it a lot and I would ...
    During the four weeks, I lived in a small bungalow with a maximum of three other people. On the first day, I got up at 5.30 a.m. eagerly to be ready for work one hour later (or to meet the 40-60 other volunteers). As I wanted to work in the wildlife project, we started our daily tasks in small ...
