Program description: |
|
|
Work in a wildlife and environmental conservation program located in Gauteng Province, 45 minutes from Johannesburg. The project area is approximately 5,000 hectares, located on a rare veld (bush) type called bankenveld, recognised for its high biodiversity. Less than 1% of bankenveld is conserved under formal government programs, so this private conservation initiative is of critical importance.
Within the conservancy is a 400 hectare area set aside as the game reserve, home to a dozen or more species of native African wildlife and over 150 species of birds. The long term goal is for the game reserve is to expand to incorporate the entire conservancy.
Volunteers will assist in the rehabilitation of birds and small mammals, and maintain the surrounding habitat into which they can be released. On the program, volunteers will become involved in environmental work and wildlife rehabilitation and care, as well as learning about conservation principles and veld and game management. Volunteers with specialist experience or qualifications may be able to assist in the project’s intensive care clinic.
