Aprašymas
AAP (Animal Advocacy and Protection) gives primates and other exotic mammals a better future! We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers with an affinity for animals that want to help us in our daily activities. Join us in Almere and help us take care of the animals! We are an European animal welfare organization dedicated to the welfare of exotic animals. It is our mission to end their suffering by rescuing animals in need and advocate for better laws and regulations. The animals that end up with AAP often come from illegal trade, research laboratories, circuses, illegal zoos or directly from private individuals. You will be working 32 hours a week at four animal departments; Quarantine, Mammals, Primates, Chimpanzees and a Central Kitchen. A big part of your job will be cleaning enclosures, feeding the animals, food preparation, small maintenance jobs, making enrichment plus giving it to the animals and the refurbishing of an enclosure.
