We are looking for volunteers to join the team and support vital work aimed toward the protection of wild elephants.

The project is unique in Sri Lanka as its award-winning model focuses on conducting research on wild elephants whilst working with the community to help them live peacefully together. You will assist their research to increase the understanding and knowledge of the 300+ elephants and other wildlife including sloth bears, leopards, and jungle cats living in the surrounding area.

Join this inspirational project if you would like to get involved in helping wild elephants and wildlife conservation in Sri Lanka.

Each day will differ but volunteer tasks generally include helping with:
* Elephant monitoring and observations  
* Camera traps 
* Bird and wildlife research on transect walks
* Monitoring fences and elephant paths
* Building and mending community 
* Interviewing villagers 

The volunteer house is in a stunning rural location overlooking a lake and is nestled below the Knuckles mountain range. An afternoon trip to the national park is included, allowing you to see elephants, water buffalos, and maybe even langurs, bears, and a leopard!
