engaging and fulfilling internship with opportunities to conduct your own research

If you're looking to volunteer to gain hands-on experience of primate care and directly impact rehabilitation efforts then this is the program for you. This isn't a holiday or simple visit disguised as an internship but a place where you can concretely see the help you're providing and gain a real insight into the functioning of conservation programs.
I put in long days of work but definitely more than reaped the benefits, learning all the essentials of primate care and rehabilitation from the very dedicated and motivated site manager. As a fully qualified conservation primatologist, she also trained and helped me in designing and collecting data on wild monkeys that I'm using for a university research project.
Although I went into this program with no experience in wild or tropical animal care, I now feel confident in the skills I learnt over there and in looking into jobs in the same sector.
I found my time there immensely rewarding and built a real connection to the place, people and monkeys. At the end of time there, I didn't want to leave - and probably wouldn't have if I didn't have to finish my last year at uni!
I cannot recommend this place enough if your interested in primates, animal care or ecology and conservation in general.
