It Is Time to Plan a Summer Work Vacation in Africa or Asia - Volunteer with Animals or Do Community Development
(PRWEB) April 30, 2014 -- Students looking for a work vacation for Summer 2014 should make their plans now. Consider an alternative to the "copy & paste" summer vacation – another classic tour of Europe or a few weeks on that beach everyone goes to. Book an ecotourism holiday and volunteer at an elephant sanctuary in Thailand, teach English in Nepal, or help save the turtles on a tropical beach in Malyasia. Ecoteer Responsible Travel organizes wonderful all-summer and gap year working holidays in Africa and Asia for willing volunteers!
Travelers concerned about the status of the Cameroon Gorillas and chimpanzees, some of the most threatened ape species on our planet, can volunteer in the rainforests of Cameroon. Join a committed and fun team of dedicated volunteers on jungle treks and population studies as part of the Gorilla & Chimpanzee Conservation Volunteer project. Learn how to raise awareness of the fragile ecosystem among the local community and share tips on the best ways to take care of the environment.
People looking to volunteer with animals can help the charming but vulnerable Sun Bears on the Island of Borneo. This smallest of all bear species is the subject of a conservation effort by the Sun Bear Volunteer Conservation project in Sepilok, Malaysia. They will collaborate with professional scientists and work with the delightful bears themselves, improving their living conditions and protecting them from common dangers.
Volunteers who took part in this international volunteer opportunity describe it as “an incredible experience which I enjoyed every moment of” and considered it a “great privilege to work as a volunteer” on the Sun Bear Volunteer Conservation team rehabilitate Sunbears.
For an alternative opportunity to volunteer with animals, sign up for the Rhino & Elephant Volunteering Conservation project in the vast savannas of Zimbabwe’s Wedza District, in southern Africa. Work with rhinos and elephants at the local game reserve, study their behavior and track the animal’s movements. Work with the team to protect the wildlife from poaching and inform the rural population on the importance of protecting these species. Previous charity holiday participants said, it was a source of “inspiration, determination, happy memories [and] new friends,” as well as a “wonderful experience” and a definite “positive contribution.”
This summer may be your most positive and rewarding yet. Join one of Ecoteer Responsible Travel’s amazing work vacation projects and have the time of your life as an international volunteer.
