Wildlife Conservation Internship

I am 3 months into my internship at the moment and loving every minute. I am a volunteer coordinator in Java, Indonesia where I look after volunteers traveling to the project as well as helping local children and the staff at the centre develop their English skills. The centre here rescues animals that have been trafficked illegally and kept as pets, commonly in poor conditions. The main goals of the centre is to rehabilitate and eventually release whatever animals still stand a chance of survival in their natural habitat. The days are busy and hard work but it's really rewarding to know I am making a difference to the lives of animals such as orangutans, gibbons, eagles and even more species that have been rescued through the confiscation process and also improving the future prospects of the local children who are all eager and keen to learn English from a native speaker. Every day is new with experiences I would never have thought possible if I hadn't applied for the internship through Ecoteer :)
