The centre provides the animals with shelter and wherever possible, the animals are reintroduced into the wild, however many of the animals come to the centre with permanent disabilities and as a result there are many animals at the centre that cannot be returned to the wild.
At the centre you will find a wide variety of animals such as monkeys, bears, reptiles, exotic birds and a variety of nocturnal animals such as leopard cats, civets and binturang. The Rescue Centre is also taking care of a disabled tiger.
Volunteer Role
Volunteers spend time preparing food for the animals, serving it to them and cleaning out their enclosures. This will include a variety of ancillary jobs, such as cleaning food bowls, equipment and food preparation areas. Other time will be spent preparing enrichments for the animals and also giving tours to visiting tourists.
There may also be work building/upgrading enclosures, usually involving a digging and painting. On some occasions, volunteers will be able to take part in rescue missions outside the centre. When time and resources are available, volunteers will be taken on night-safaris to observe animals in the wild (e.g. elephants) or on jungle trips and other nature/wildlife related activities.
