Volunteering for environmental and animal protection

your place of work in Nepal
As a volunteer, you will support an organization that was founded by dedicated volunteers. Their aim was to restore a forest area in Dhanusha, near the community of Dhanushadham, that had been almost destroyed by illegal hunting and economic activity. Since then, the situation has improved significantly: thanks to thousands of newly planted trees and newly released animals, the protected area has almost fully recovered.

There is still a lot of work to be done in controlling the forest and the wild population, rescuing and preserving rare species, and educating the population. Here you can lend a hand as a volunteer and do your part to preserve Nepal's nature.

Your tasks in the wildlife project
As a volunteer in the wildlife project in Nepal, you can take on a variety of tasks. You can support the team in their work of reintroducing confiscated or endangered animals into a safe area. You will also help to control the species population by setting up trail cameras, analyzing the photos taken of wild animals and entering the data collected into lists. This is how the wildlife population is monitored.

You can also get involved in educating people about animal welfare. On the one hand, you can create posts for social media networks and help keep the website up to date. On the other hand, you can do educational work in the surrounding schools, for example by giving a lecture on the importance of environmental and animal protection.

Your work day in the wildlife project
Your working hours depend on the current workload and the number of helpers in the project. Generally, you will work from 9:00 in the morning until 17:00 in the afternoon. In between, you will have a one-hour break during which you will get your lunch.
