Work with cheetahs and rhinos in South Africa.

Volunteers (18–85) help with feeding, tracking, behavior data, and rehab—supporting real anti-poaching and breeding programs.

Real conservation. Real impact.

Pay-to-work wildlife internships make you pay for experience.

Yet paid interns earn up to 1.4x higher starting salaries and get 50% more job offers.

If paid options exist, why fund unpaid labor?

Think a marine biology internship in South Africa is a beach holiday?
Week one: earn your PADI. After that: 08:30 research dives on the KwaZulu-Natal coast, photographing tiny nudibranchs that signal ocean warming.

Ecology has 1,500+ core terms. Most people Google them one by one.

I used to do that too.

Now I use a glossary I co-created with a 20+ year environmental scientist—clear definitions, real examples, all in one place.

If you study or work in ecology, stop relying on random search results.
