With Jessie having the chance to see her winning orangutan enrichment idea come to fruition in the wilds of Borneo, we thought it would be the perfect time to sit down with her and learn a little more about her highlights of the project and what it was like the first time she saw the apes using her enrichment idea! Sit back and watch Jessie's infectious enthusiasm for the orangutans come right through the screen!
If you have been inspired by Jessie's words about the project, then why not take a look at the project page and become a volunteer yourself! Spaces fill up very quickly so if you want to help the orangutans at Samboja then get in touch soon!

Come face to face with one of the world’s most misunderstood predators whilst aiding great white shark conservation. As a volunteer, not only will you get the incredible opportunity to dive with sharks, but you will also assist the team in raising awareness of the great white as you work alongside tourists and local school children to provide them with knowledge of the local environment and the importance of living in harmony with South Africa’s marine life.
