Description |
We are looking for volunteers for internships from 80-days to 1-year, assisting us to manage the Sainte Luce Reserve in south east Madagascar.
This is a great opportunity to join an extraordinary conservation program in one of the most beautiful places on earth, as Assistant Conservation Manager.
We need a motivated and dynamic volunteer to work directly with the founder and director of the reserve on work that is primarily focused on lemur conservation and managing reserve staff and short-term volunteers. Based at our two stunning beachfront sites in Tolagnaro (residence and office - approximately one week per month) and at our spectacular staff camp, near the coastal village of Sainte Luce, 40km north of Fort Dauphin (the reserve - the majority of the time), this position offers the chance to be involved in hands-on grass-roots habitat conservation, sometimes involving research and sometimes managing other volunteers.
This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate to jump right in and gain invaluable skills and field experience towards a career in conservation.
Duties and responsibilities
The Assistant Conservation Manager will work directly with our founder & director, with our Malagasy staff and sometimes perhaps with international researchers and volunteers, on the following activities:
You personally:
We may consider more than one person for this role depending on a number of variables including length of time that the application wishes to commit to the role, qualifications, etc. We may also offer other roles to candidates who are not absolutely qualified for this exact role.
Pay and conditions:
You must pay for flights and travel insurance for the duration of your placement with us. We provide your accommodation (which may sometimes include camping when in the field but will normally be in a bungalow) and food while in the field. You pay for your food when in town (about one week per month). All other costs (socialising, restaurant meals, medicines and personal purchases, etc) will need to be covered by you.
We are happy to answer further questions prior to receiving your application. Please send email to admin@sainte-luce-reserve.org or APPLY with a CV and cover letter telling us how you fit our requirements. We may also have further questions for applicants. Please note that we now have received adequate well qualified applications for the 2015 and 2016 seasons, but, we are still interested to hear from applicants who might like to fully fund their post with us to gain field experience. Please email us for further information. |
