Wild animal volunteer

Hello! I am looking for free or cheap volunteer opportunities with wild animals, specifically big cats. I would like so much if it could be with tigers. I don't care if they give accomodation and food or not, I can find something on my own. I just want to volunteer. It could be a rescue center, a sanctuary or something like that. If possible, somewhere where animals are treated good. Thank you

Hi Joana,

I lived in Southeast Asia for many years and never came across a free wildlife volunteering opportunity. Most would require a fee. Many free volunteering projects are geared towards helping orphans and teaching English. If you want to work with animals you may want to check out Baan Unrak Thai Animal Sanctuary: http://thaianimalsanctuary.com/volunteer/

For a small fee you can volunteer at the Sumatran Tiger Conservation in Sumatra, Indonesia with Biosphere Expeditions.

Others in South East Asia:

Safari Park in Kanchanaburi, Thailand

Taman Negara in Malaysia
