14 Day Wildlife Rescue Conservation Mission
Step into the wild and discover what it truly means to work at the frontlines of wildlife conservation! Join a qualified wildlife veterinarian and an award-winning biologist at Guatemala’s premier rescue center, nestled in the lush tropical rainforest. Spend your days caring for exotic animals through hands-on husbandry in specialised enclosures, implementing creative environmental enrichment, and developing your own behavioral study on parrots and primates.
Learn to handle and safely restrain wildlife, while also venturing into the field for thrilling experiences like nocturnal crocodile spotting and telemetry tracking. Broaden your understanding through expert-led lectures covering Wildlife Conservation, Ethology, Animal Management, Baby Animal Care, One Health, and more. You’ll also contribute to vital long-term biodiversity studies, gaining real research experience. As a bonus, enjoy a well-earned day off exploring the awe-inspiring Mayan ruins of Tikal with a guided tour, lunch, and a relaxing visit to the charming island town of Flores. Whether you’re passionate about animal care, conservation biology, or wildlife medicine, this is an unforgettable opportunity to grow your skills, and your sense of adventure!
