Volunteer: Rainforest and Kiwi Protection in New Zealand

2 days ago

Dublin, Dublin City, Ireland Global Nomadic Full time
Overview

Volunteer: Rainforest and Kiwi Protection in New Zealand — a volunteer role with Global Nomadic. This sanctuary is a non-profit organization located in the cloud-forest of Tutamoe Peak in Northland, New Zealand. The area is home to the endangered kiwi bird and the rare giant kauri snail. Locals and volunteers are working together to protect this lush forest and to restore it to its natural splendor. The organization is built on sustainable principles and is totally off-grid with most structures and tools recycled from other projects. Working with the Department of Conservation, we protect and monitor wildlife in forests, create access trails, protect native species from invasive rats, possums, and stoats, plant native trees, monitor pest numbers, and build an environment that will continue to be home to the endangered Kiwi and Kokako birds. This project not only gives you a chance to actively restore protected ecosystems, but it also creates an everlasting experience for all involved. As an intern you will receive extra training and mentoring that would give you the skills to take charge of a small team of volunteers. With time, you will be in charge of the planning of activities, preparation, new volunteer training, and safety procedures. You will also learn the basics of what is needed to set-up a similar not-for-profit organization from the design stage to accounting and marketing strategies. Please note: all information above is subject to change. Please check the most up to date information on the Global Nomadic website when applying. Simply follow the link on the Apply Button above.

  • Lead a team of volunteers; plan activities, coordinate preparation and safety procedures
