Don't miss this valuable opportunity to learn and contribute to KFBG’s animal conservation efforts through the Fauna Conservation Department Outreach Volunteer Programme 2025! 

The programme provides a series of classes and practical training sessions designed to equip volunteers with the necessary knowledge needed to assist in animal conservation work. Topics include aspects of biology, animal conservation objectives and techniques for introducing the public to the wildlife exhibits at KFBG. Participants will also be introduced to the work of our Wild Animal Rescue Centre (WARC) through real-life animal case studies and meeting some of the rehabilitation cases. We hope the new cohort of outreach volunteers will help raise public awareness concerning nature and the need for conservation. 

Upon completing the 4-day training and passing the final examination, participants will have the opportunity to assist with our outreach educational programmes, including the “Animal Encounters”, “Discovery Tables” and the “Night Walk Programme”.
