CONDUCT DOLPHIN RESEARCH!! Join our team to conduct research on dolphins and terrestrial wildlife while teaching in East African rural schools
http://www.gviusa.com/programs/community-and-conservation-kenya-expedition
Collaborate with a group of volunteers from all over the globe to experience breath-taking coral reefs, white sandy beaches, coastal forests and friendly local communities in the awe-inspiring Shimoni Archipelago. This expedition is one of GVI’s most varied programs, and is perfect for someone looking to experience a little bit of everything we do including marine research, primate research and community development.
Dolphin research is the primary focus for the marine research, where you will explore the Kisite-Mpunguti protected area. Here, you may have the chance to site a humpback whale or snorkel with turtles! The primate research consists of spending time in the coastal forests where you will find the rare populations of the Black and White Angolan Colobus monkey. When working with the community you will assist with teaching English and helping to develop sustainable tourism initiatives.
The chance may also arise for you to protect Kenya’s big game by working with rural communities in the hear t of East Africa’s savannas to improve upon alternatives to wildlife poaching.
