Here are our 3 different animal care projects in Sri Lanka:
This project is developed in partnership with a nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection of stray dogs in southern Sri Lanka. The organization consists of an experienced team of over 40 people, including recognized veterinarians, caregivers, technical staff, as well as assistants who ensure the training and daily support of volunteers.
Volunteers participate about 4 hours per day at the clinic from Monday to Friday:
- Help during meal times
- Dog socialization
- Brushing dogs and checking for ticks
- Nail trimming and ear cleaning
- Help cleaning the dog kennels, feeding, and administering medication
The main objective of this project is to ensure the well-being of sea turtles and increase their numbers through protection measures. These measures include the preservation of eggs against predators and poachers, shelters for egg incubation, care for baby, sick, and injured turtles, their daily meals, and the release of healthy turtles back into the ocean when they are ready.
Volunteer tasks may include:
- Care, cleaning, and feeding of turtles,
- Beach cleaning,
- Night patrols during nesting season: Monitoring turtles laying their eggs on the beach.
In partnership with the "Wildlife Society Sri Lanka," this project, based in a sustainable tourism NGO, offers volunteers a unique opportunity to work with local researchers, educators, community partners, and villagers in the heart of a Sri Lankan nature reserve. Wasgamuwa is one of Sri Lanka's protected areas where large herds of elephants and a variety of birds can be seen, ideal for sustainable tourism.
Examples of tasks:
- Collecting environmental and socio-economic data to help implement community-based conservation projects.
- Building and repairing fences to protect agricultural fields and homes from wild elephants.
Prices vary depending on the project, please contact us for more information.
