WILDLIFE REHABILITATION EXPEDITION TO CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
Looking for a travel opportunity that includes hands-on wildlife rehabilitation? Join an elite team of paying volunteers that will accompany Dallas Zoo staff to Cape Town, South Africa, this August to work with the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB). The focus of SANCCOB's efforts is to rehabilitate injured and oiled sea birds, primarily the South African penguin.
The staff at SANCCOB has treated over 80,000 sea birds, and they will be teaching their techniques to the WRE participants. It's physically demanding work, and the penguins, although ill, are still strong and highly territorial. In addition to intensive days working with the birds, volunteers will have an opportunity to explore the city and the South African coastline.
