Travel Tree Country: THAILAND Volunteer work with Gibbons in Thailand REQUEST MORE INFORMATION »» Global Vision International 3 High Street St Albans Herts UNITED KINGDOM AL3 4ED Phone: 01727 250 250 www.gvi.co.uk Program description: Join GVI and help care for primates at a sanctuary for injured and abused gibbons in Thailand. This project is located in a mountainous region of the country and has been running since 1991. It houses over 40 gibbons and monkeys at any one time. Once removed from the wild, gibbons are usually unable to live autonomously again, and the continued existence of this center is essential for the gibbons that live there. In preparation for your work you will receive orientation and training, including language workshops and adventure activities. As a volunteer you will assist with the day-to-day running of the sanctuary including feeding, cleaning and caring for the baby apes. There are also opportunities to partake in fundraising and environmental education outreach programs as well. *How this program makes a difference* Established in 1991 this sanctuary currently houses over 40 gibbons and a number of other species. Gibbons, once removed from their natural environments, quickly forget how to forage on their own and can never be returned to the wild. This sanctuary provides a lifetime refuge for abandoned, mistreated, and/or physically injured gibbons and other creatures in need who would not be able to survive without it.
