Epic volunteer opportunity!

This is truly a place where you feel that you’re making a difference! They are releasing animals back into the wild constantly and the enclosures before that are massive, giving the animals the best chance for rehabilitation.

As a volunteer you’re involved and every day is different. The staff and fellow volunteers make the days fly by so fast. You get up close to the animals without touching, and located in the jungle, making your time an experience of a lifetime! Cannot recommend enough!

The project are doing amazing and much needed conservation work to protect the wildlife in Laos. The staff are so dedicated and knowledgeable, and the animals in their care are looked after so wonderfully, with their well-being always prioritised. As a veterinary volunteer, I was able to experience the difference they are making to Laos wildlife first-hand and was thrilled to be able to assist with a couple of procedures in my short stay. I hope as they grow and develop in their new site, so too will the local wildlife populations 🙂

"We absolutely loved our week volunteering"

We absolutely loved our week volunteering —it was definitely the highlight of our month-long travels in Laos. All the animals are very well looked after, with spacious enclosures full of enrichment. We felt privileged to work with so many native species, especially the moon and sun bears. It meant a lot to us to support their incredible mission of wildlife rescue and conservation. The staff were all super friendly, and our accommodation and food were excellent too. To top it all off, we even got to enjoy the swimming pool at the resort next door. Highly recommend!
