1 . Wildlife Volunteer Programs for Teens

At one of the most successful wildlife care centers in Zimbabwe, volunteers work with wildlife ranging from monkeys to lions. These animals have been abandoned, injured, or rescued from illegal wildlife traders. Tasks include preparing food, cleaning out yards, and contributing enrichment ideas. Leisure time can be spent visiting Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park.

With this program, teens can help the endangered sea turtle while working alongside experts. Volunteers can expect long walks along the beach watching over sea turtles nesting areas or building fences to protect them from natural enemies. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to explore ancient ruins and sample delicious Greek cuisine.

With this program, volunteers will learn about the issues facing the marine (海洋的) ecosystem, including pollution, overfishing, and climate change. Teens will gain valuable skills on how to conduct deep sea research and identify fish species. During free time, participants can explore Mayan ruins set in tropical (热带的) jungles.

Volunteers joining this program help restore the natural habitat of native wildlife, which is in danger of losing its habitat. This program gives teens an experience of a lifetime where they can swim with sea lions and spot rare wildlife in one of the last untouched places on earth.

Elizabeth will provide everyone with head torches (头灯) to help us find our way and tell you some of the science and stories behind the stars and the rest of our universe.

Dave will lead a walk around Gallow Hill. This is a mixed habitat for birds that is at an exciting stage of development. It contains some beautiful mature woodland. It also has a large open area, which is now being replanted with trees.

This is a waterside walk along the wooded banks of the River Annan. This river is a wildlife habitat where you may see gray herons, sand martins, dippers and various species of ducks. This walk is mainly flat so you’ll be able to talk while you walk. It might be a little muddy in places so you are advised to wear walking boots and watch out for the few tree roots along the riverside.
