Caribbean Reef Buddy was established on the Caribbean Island of Carriacou to provide a sustainable resource that would independently help measure, monitor, and educate a combination of the local community, local government and international volunteers. The data collected also helps guide the environmental planning of our fishery and marine protected area. Volunteer participants with Caribbean Reef Buddy will be involved in: Coral reef surveys, including assessments of fish, benthic species, and substrate composition Coral reef regeneration Invasive Lionfish containment Macroinvertebrate research and data collection Sharks and apex predator surveys using BRUVS. Underwater photography to contribute to photographic macroinvertebrate identification (underwater camera required). https://lnkd.in/dDQiqjP #marinebiology #marineconservation #wildlifejobs

Work at our Kiwi Conservation Volunteer & Internship Project, New Zealand, will focus on the completion of various conservation techniques that will be employed for the control and the monitoring of the pests that harm the kiwi and other native birds. These conservation techniques follow the best practices published by the Department of Conservation and will be employed within the sanctuary as well as in three other forests that are managed by the Department of Conservation. Volunteer tasks will include: Track maintenance – clearing and widening of the trails Bait station filling and monitoring GPS trail mapping Trapping Small mammal monitoring Kiwi monitoring Kokako monitoring Bat monitoring Seedfall collection https://lnkd.in/dcxPC6sN #wildlifejobs #wildlifecareers #conservationjobs

On our Conservation Volunteering in New Zealand programme, volunteers work in teams of up to 10 people on projects in urban, regional and remote locations. Team Leaders provide training on-site. 🇳🇿💪 Typical Activities include: Tree planting Walking trail construction Wildlife surveys Seed collection Weed control Conservation fencing Heritage restoration https://lnkd.in/eZ4vFe9f #wildlifejobs #naturejobs #conservtionjobs

During our Great Barrier Reef Conservation Project, Australia, they will train you in reef ecology and reef survey techniques together with accompanying you to the Great Barrier Reef during data collection trips, education and conservation events. Typical activities include: 🪸Reef Ecology – You will learn everything you need to know about Indo Pacific reefs, from coral to whales and everything in between. You will look at reef management and how the Great Barrier Reef is protected and also work on developing identification skills that will allow you to survey reefs successfully. 🪸In Water Reef monitoring and data collection – You will work on a variety of citizen science projects and other projects that combine science, management and industry. Data input – After every reef trip, interns will enter the data from the previous day and work on creating the resources necessary for the research projects. 🪸Community engagement projects – During classroom days, interns work on creating educational resources and other projects that we use to engage not just the local community but a worldwide audience. https://lnkd.in/d5s9JQa #marinebiology #marineconservation #wildlifejobs

As a marine biology intern, at our Tenerife Marine Biology Internship, Spain, you will be responsible for collecting data in the field using different underwater equipment and methods for rock bottom and seagrass sampling. You will have the opportunity to graphically and statistically analyse the data acquired during scuba diving and you will be assisted in drafting your personal scientific manuscript. You will be able to gain valuable skills and knowledge in a range of sub-topics. You will have the opportunity to write a thesis or scientific publications and increase your skills in the marine conservation sector. You will be followed step by step, from lessons to scuba diving. https://lnkd.in/eSxjbg6M #marineconservation #marinejobs #wildlifejobs

Track Wolves and Lynx in the beautiful Tatra mountains in Slovakia on our White Wilderness – Carpathian Wolf Tracking Volunteer Project, Slovakia. Learn about the art of tracking, reading signs in nature and also about the plight of the mythic wolf. A rare opportunity to spend time in deep wilderness with expert trackers, wolf and lynx researchers & wildlife photographers in the midst of winter, when the wilderness is white and the tracks are clear. The White Wilderness project brings together international volunteers and local people, nature conservationists, foresters, landowners and hunters. Under the close supervision of experienced project staff, volunteers track wolves and lynx and collect samples for DNA analysis, which will allow us to determine the minimum number of animals in the area as well as to detect changes which could require urgent intervention. https://lnkd.in/dEm4mwtr #wildlifejobs #conservationjobs #wildlifecareers

Below are some of the activities you can expect to be involved with as a marine conservation volunteer in Portugal; 🐳For every cetacean group we encounter, we collect a range of biological, ecological and environmental data. 🐳Volunteers will get to see several species of cetaceans, sharks, sea turtles and marine birds found in the South of Portugal (please note not all sightings are guaranteed due to local weather conditions) 🐳Learn to identify and interpret cetacean behaviour and social composition 🐳Increase your pool of knowledge through theoretical lectures and fieldwork training from experienced researchers 🐳Learn about and use several of the most frequently used techniques and methodologies to study cetaceans 🐳Learn about data collection, photo analysis (photo-id) and techniques in underwater and aerial videos, and more! https://lnkd.in/ddHHwtT #marineconservation #marinebiology #conservationjobs

Typical Volunteer Tasks on our Wolf Conservation Volunteer Project, Portugal, include: 🐺Preparation of food and feeding the wolves. 🐺Checking the wolves’ water supplies. Monitoring and observation of the wolves. 🐺Forest maintenance; tree felling and pruning; removal of branches and other materials and subsequent burning; vegetation clearing using agricultural tools and so on. 🐺During the summer (May to October) watching out for forest fires – can include night shifts. 🐺Infrastructure maintenance: checking enclosure walls and fences, painting; maintaining pathways in the forest. https://lnkd.in/dgY7_qF #wildlifejobs #wildlifecareers #wolfconservation

Cetacean volunteer researchers at our Dolphin & Whale Volunteer Research Project, Italy, will be directly involved in field activities, helping the scientists to collect cetacean data and assist them in preliminary analyses of digital photos and acoustic recordings, while learning basics in sailing. The schedule of a research cruise depends very much on weather conditions. Surveys are conducted whenever the sea state and wind forecasts are favourable for data collection. Cetacean volunteer researchers are full members of the crew, and they will be assigned a number of duties. These include sighting shifts (looking for cetaceans), computer shifts (data entry and hydrophone listening), navigation shifts (checking the boat course and velocity), cooking and boat-keeping shifts (participants as well as staff members will be in charge of preparing meals and cleaning-up, keeping the boat tidy and ready to sail). https://lnkd.in/ddEQYfrR #wildlifejobs #marineconservation #marinebiology
