It has been another busy month for everyone here at The Great Projects with the launch of a fantastic new wildlife conservation volunteer project!

It is an amazing endangered species monitoring program in Zululand, South Africa. With work supported by and in conjunction with organizations including the WWF, Endangered Wildlife Trust and Wildlands Conservation Trust, The Zululand Wildlife Conservation Project has tight-knit teams of volunteers participate in vital research across a number of reserves. The project currently focuses its efforts on three priority species; the African wild dog, cheetah and critically endangered black rhinoceros, while monitoring of elephant, buffalo, lion, hyena, leopard and white rhino takes place on a more ad hoc basis. Volunteers can join for multiples of 2 weeks with prices starting from £995.
