Additional Information:
This is a great place not only to work, but also to live, as the people here are so easy-going. It's also a great location for exploring Tamil Nadu - you can easily get into Chennai if you fancy a night out, or down to Mahallipuram for a relaxing weekend on the beach. As a volunteer you will be involved in almost every aspect of work here. You can expect to do a fair bit of hands-on maintenance work, such as cleaning out the crocodiles’ enclosures. There are regular opportunities for assisting with research projects, helping out with data collection/recording etc. You can also help with the environmental education programme working with schoolchildren from the local area, and also running summer camps. Volunteers can act as guides for visitors - crocodiles become more active after dark, so you can help take visitors on the night safari. This is a unique opportunity for anyone interested in crocodiles and reptiles. Volunteers who intend to study conservation, zoology or other relayed disciplines can also greatly benefit from participating in this programme, although placements are not limited to such people. Would Suit: Those interested in Conservation, Ecology, Zoology, Biology, Veterinary Science, Animal Husbandry, Research or Data Collection
