Volunteer With Monkeys
Becoming a volunteer with monkeys is super rewarding and a great way to help conserve a group that is under increasing threat. Monkeys are a group of primates (others include tarsiers, lemurs, apes or humans) consisting of about 260 known living species all in all. Many species are arboreal, although there are some monkeys that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons.
Here at The Great Projects, we offer you the chance to volunteer with monkeys – including baboons in Namibia, vervet monkeys in Malawi, Squirrel monkeys in Costa Rica and more. We have various projects on offer which provide volunteer opportunities with monkeys, where you can make a true difference to monkey conservation around the world. All you need to do is take your pick!
As some of our closest relatives, the chance of volunteering with monkeys abroad does not come around too often and is definitely an incredible privilege. Join The Great Projects on one of these monkey conservation projects and you'll be able to enjoy this one of a kind experience. Get in touch and find out more about how to become a volunteer with monkeys at The Great Projects.
