About Program

The Orangutan Foundation International (OFI) Canadian Field Correspondent position is well suited to enthusiastic and independent individuals. OFI has a long and established history as a research, conservation, and education organization. It is vitally important that this work continues to be brought to the attention of the public as well as the friends and donors involved with OFI and OFICanada. Field Correspondent volunteers gain unparalleled access to OFI’s unique field operations and use this experience and insight gained to contribute concrete material to a critically important aspect of conservation: involvement of the international public.
