Responsible Volunteering

Introduction

It is important for everybody to become connected to the issues facing humanity and the planet, and empowered to realizing solutions. WOX has developed volunteer programs to achieve this goal. Volunteers or participants pay money to fund the enhancement of ongoing conservation projects and physically contribute in the implementation thereof with their manpower in activities such as interpretation, husbandry, enrichment, infrastructure building, rehabilitation and release of animals, habitat restoration as well as community involvement and education.

WOX terms this “connecting everyday people to endangered animals “. The volunteers/participants have the unique opportunity to experience first-hand the social and environmental issues of that project, and form an appreciation of the realities of conservation and human development. Ultimately, volunteers/participants relate their experiences back to their everyday lives, broadening their understanding and cultural horizons, and giving them further opportunities to make a difference in their lives.
