Are there opportunities to volunteer for wildlife conservation in Phuket?

There are several organizations in Phuket that welcome volunteers for wildlife conservation efforts. The Gibbon Rehabilitation Project is a notable one, focusing on the rescue and rehabilitation of gibbons.

• Another option is the Phuket Marine Biological Center, which often looks for volunteers to help with marine conservation, including sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation.

• Volunteering can be a rewarding way to connect with local wildlife while giving back to the community. Just be sure to check their websites for current opportunities and requirements.

Check age, height, fitness and supervision requirements before paying. Build in shade, water and rest time, and avoid overloading a family day with long cross-island transfers.
