The Global Volunteer Network has opportunities available to work with wild animals through our partner organization in Thailand. This will give you a chance to care for rescued wild animals, and where possible introduce them back to the wild. You also have the opportunity to teach wildlife education in the local schools, which will help you gain an in depth experience of the country and its animals that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

You can join the program from 4 to 12 weeks initially. After this period you may negotiate with the program director to stay longer. You will be accommodated on the reserve in cabins and provided with three meals a day. Depending on the duration of your stay, your education and experience, you may participate in the following activities:
- Assisting the caretakers (preparing food, feeding, buying food at the market);
- Building and maintaining the cages;
- Daily cleaning of the cages;
- Giving talks to tourists (tourists are not allowed 'inside' the project) telling them of your experiences and those of the animals at the project as well as enlightening them on the current situation of the wildlife protection in Thailand, particularly in Phuket.
- Teaching wildlife education/English in the local school.
