Caretaker in Rainfer, Primate Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre

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.
