Caretaker in Rainfer Primate Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre
Fundación Rainfer
Fuente El Saz de Jarama, Испания
Описание
Rainfer Sanctuary is, since 1995, a rescue and rehabilitation centre for primates that have been subjected to human exploitation (illegal trade, circuses, zoos that kept them in poor conditions or are abandoned pets). Our main aims are fighting against illegal trade of wildlife, raising environmental awareness in the society through education and taking care of primates sheltered in our facilities (we shelter and take care of over 125 primates of over 20 different species). We are now seeking for European Solidarity Corps volunteers eager to learn and take part in animal conservation. Volunteers will collaborate with our professional caretakers in Sanctuary’s daily tasks such as: elaboration of primate diets; small and medium-sized monkey feeding; hygiene and disinfection of primate facilities; elaboration of enrichment techniques for physical and psychological rehabilitation of primates or development of ethological observation of primate groups.
Настаняване, хранене и транспорт
Volunteers will be accommodated on site in a fully equipped bungalow with 4 double bedrooms with ensuite bathroom, kitchen and dining room. Volunteers are responsible for keeping it clean, however our cleaning personnel will help keep the area in good conditions. The Sanctuary is a 30-minutes’ walk from the closest village, where all basic shops and equipments can be found. Madrid can be accessed by bus in their spare time, 2 bikes are available for volunteers. This programme includes HENNER insurance, travel costs, monthly and food allowance and pocket money according to the ESC limits
