The Elephant and Wildlife Conservation project has an award-winning approach to protecting elephants and wildlife which are found in the national park and local communities.

Volunteers work alongside the local team to help elephants and communities live together in harmony. You will assist their research into over 300 elephants and wildlife including sloth bears, leopards and jungle cats which live in the surrounding area. This research is vital to help to conservation and protect them for the future.

You will visit the stunning local national park during your volunteer placement and can explore ancient cities, colourful temples and beautiful countryside in your free time.
