 Program Name: African Savannah Conservation Project
Organization: Projects Abroad
About Projects Abroad: Projects Abroad was founded in 1992 when Dr. Peter Slowe, a university professor, realized the need for international programs that involve travelling and working abroad at the same time. A couple of his students approached him with an idea of spending a gap year in Eastern Europe. Knowing some colleagues in Romania, Dr. Peter Slowe set up a teaching English program for his students which gave a jump start to Projects Abroad.
Student by student Projects Abroad began sending participants on Teach English Abroad programs in Eastern Europe. Realizing the need for international volunteers in developing countries, Projects Abroad began growing and expanding its programs to many other countries all over the world. In addition to volunteer programs, Project Abroad now offers international internships as well.
Whether you are 16 or 75, a high school student or a retired professional, volunteering overseas is something that will change your life forever. No matter what your background or age is, Projects Abroad will find the right volunteer or internship abroad program for you!
Highlights: One effort to stop the diminishment of species is the establishment of nature reserves, which aim to provide savannah animals a safe haven to conduct themselves naturally without interference from poachers or human settlements. On this project, you will be working directly on a nature reserve, and you will be performing a multitude of tasks to make sure the environment is optimal and that the animals are thriving. You may do such things as tracking elephant migration, removing alien plant life, demolishing old fences to unblock the animals’ paths, or creating structures such as bird hides and mud baths for elephants. Through observation and intensive data collection, you will be able to help keep track of progress.
If you volunteer on an African savannah conservation project, you will directly impact the lives of thousands of animals and help ensure their continued survival.
