About Program
This program combines a comprehensive online course about wildlife rehabilitation in the Amazon rainforest with volunteering for the conservation society based in Ecuador.
You will complete 10 high quality video learning modules followed by one-to-one talks with one of the project's biologists via Skype about the rehabilitation of wildlife from illegal trade and improper husbandry. As a volunteer, you will write wildlife and conservation-related articles that the project can publish in magazines and on websites.
This remote volunteer program with online course is highly relevant for students of biology, conservation, zoology, and anyone interested in animal welfare and rehabilitation. Topics include rehabilitation techniques for birds, primates, mammals, reptiles, psittacidae (parrots), dealing with clinical cases, introduction to operant conditioning, design & enrichment of habitats, and care of newborns.
This volunteer placement can be done in English, Spanish or French.
