Volunteer for Orangutans

The Orangutan Foundation has just emailed with details of its 2015 Summer Volunteer Programme.  This programme is in its 15th year and gives participants the chance to contribute to essential  conservation work and to see the orang-utan in its natural habitat.   And orang-utans also need your stamps!  (Read on and you'll find out how.)

Volunteers will be involved in renovating and restoring the education centre in Tanjung Harapan.  It's one of the feeding sites in the Tanjung Putting National Park.  The park is home to over 4,000 orang-utans, and volunteers will be able to take part in conservation work, surrounded by an array of wildlife.  This programme does not give hands-on contact with the orang-utans.

The date is the 7th September - 11th October (based on arrival and departure dates to local airport/town, Pangkalan Bun). 

The cost is  £975 - includes all construction materials, meals, accommodation and local transport from the 7th to departure on the 11th. Places are limited.

The application period ends on 30th April 2015.  For more info and to apply, email info@orangutan.org.uk or click here
