You will be placed with the People and Conservation (P & C) department at one of the several parks, where you will work alongside social ecologists. You will focus on the development of environmental education and community development projects to help integrate the local communities into the conservation efforts. You will spend two-weeks at a training course in Kruger National Park where you will learn first aid and ranger training amongst other things. No specific experience is necessary, however, each park has its individual requirements and GVI will place interns where their skills are best suited. This program is ideal for anyone seriously considering a career in conservation. *How this program makes a difference* GVI places volunteers in the People and Conservation department, which is a new department within SANParks. It has a revolutionary approach to conservation which considers ecology, cultural and socio- economic issues related to the management of the national parks. The process is interdisciplinary, participative, community-orientated and educational. It seeks to facilitate partnerships that are beneficial to both the national parks and the local communities.
