Wildlife Volunteer Programs

If your ideal volunteer abroad experience involves hiking up mountains, crossing rivers and streams, backpacking trips into the wilderness, or wading into oceanic habitats, all while exploring a new and exciting place, then you may be fit to volunteer with wildlife abroad. Every year, government organizations and charities from all over the world collect data on various wildlife species, both on land and in the sea, to use for research projects and conservation efforts. Many countries with high populations of wildlife especially struggle to complete this important work, therefore international volunteers are needed to conduct surveys and collect essential data.

A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Wildlife Surveying

Why Volunteer with Wildlife Abroad

*Important: Here’s a list of 27 questions to ask while choosing which organization or animal sanctuary to volunteer at.

Many countries, with rare wildlife species, conduct wildlife surveys only rarely because of issues with staff shortages or other resource limitations. Developing countries especially struggle to obtain the needed resources to collect this important wildlife data. To help combat these issues, wildlife surveying volunteers can help understaffed organizations collect vital information, which will help ensure the survival and archival of a multitude of animal species.

Though some argue about the methods involved in wildlife surveying, the data collected from such surveys illustrates important data trends related to things such as animal migration patterns, eating habits, or environmental needs. Once collected, this data ensures that conservation organizations and government entities have the necessary information to make responsible decisions about wildlife care, habitat restoration, and numerous environmental programs. Furthermore, surveying endangered or threatened species may provide data critical to the species future survival.

As a volunteer with wildlife abroad, your work will go beyond helping animals, it will become an investment in the Earth’s future.

Great fun

November 07, 2025by: James Gilchrist - United KingdomProgram: South America Explorer with Gapforce
9

A very enjoyable 50 days spent with fun like minded people. Our leader Gaz was very knowledgeable about travel and had plenty of tips. We did a variety of activities with tubing and white water rafting being highlights along side Machu Picchu we also did lots of day hikes to some amazing views! Would recommend as a great confident booster to first time solo travelers. About half the group went home after the trip and half stayed in South America to do further travel. Would recommend bring a waterproof cover for day bag as it can rain a lot on treks and this helps to keep stuff dry.
