Announcing the Volunteer Programme for 2014!
These are the dates of the Volunteer Programme 2014. Confirmation of the exact project is still to be made – it will be helping with the infrastructure of a protected area as are all our volunteer programmes.
This coming year there will be two trips, each of four weeks, at £850 (inc. everything upon arrival in Pangkalan Bun. Excludes all flights)
Only two spaces left, please get in touch before 30th April!
Pangkalan Bun is a flight away from Jakarta; please allow a day for this journey from Jakarta.
Please note the trip is currently unconfirmed – we should hear soon whether the trip can go ahead.
Please email info@orangutan.org.uk with which group you would like to apply for. We will get back to you with a project title soon!
The Orangutan Foundation Volunteer Programme was established in 2000 in Tanjung Puting National Park, Central Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo). Our programme is like no other and promises exciting opportunities for adventurous individuals; volunteers participate in conservation fieldwork that really makes a difference, whilst getting a chance to see ex-captive (and hopefully wild) orangutans in their natural habitat. It has never failed to be a success; not only does it provide the Foundation with a base of committed supporters, but past volunteers all agree that taking part was an unforgettable and amazing experience.
The location of the programme depends on the needs of our field operations at the time and hence volunteers have worked in TANJUNG PUTING NATIONAL PARK (ex-orangutan release site), the LAMANDAU WILDLIFE RESERVE (current release site) and BELANTIKAN, home to the largest remaining population of orangutans in an unprotected area. Past projects have included; the construction of Guard Posts, an orangutan release site, and building dams with piping to supply villagers with clean drinking water.
How to Apply Email info@orangutan.org.uk or call the Orangutan Foundation to state your interest.
