VIETNAM / Kaya Responsible Travel
Help and be a volunteer in Vietnam in a wildlife heaven that harbours over 12,000 plant and 7,000 animal species, many of them found nowhere else on earth. We will take you to our project Wildlife Rescue Station, the first and only wildlife hospital and holding facility in Southern Vietnam. Located nearby tropical rubber tree forests and the famous Cu Chi tunnels, the station is home to many species including gibbons, primates, bears, reptiles, monitor lizards, carnivores, water dragons, pythons and a wide range of turtles. Staff are trying their best to provide accommodation and care for wildlife rescued from illegal traders. After recovering most of the animals healthy enough are then released back into their natural habitat.
You will be able to work alongside the staff and vets of the Wildlife Rescue Station to take care of the animals and to provide them with a life that is closest to their natural habitat. You’ll find many tasks that will require your time and efforts. It is the little things that can lead to an extraordinary impact on the lives of animals and public awareness.
Slice fruit for the tortoises, feed the gibbons, prepare the playground for the sun bears, plant trees, paint facilities, and help arrange the exhibit items for display at the Awareness Centre. You can even take part in the construction of a bigger Hospital and holding Centre.
Whilst working, the friendly staff will share all they know with you on the wildlife and their habitat, how to live in harmony with them, how to name a tortoise, how to feed a bear, how to make friends with a gibbon…
