Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

We do not get government funding and are totally reliant on the generosity of the public and corporate sector to keep our doors open and continue our conservation work. What comes to mind when you think of wildlife rescue and conservation. Images of oil covered seagulls, rescued chimps, beached whales, dehorned rhinos? What about all of the precious wildlife that isn’t found in some exotic place, some big reserve “in another province”, but a few kilometres from our homes, schools, and offices? Many people have helped a tortoise or chameleon cross the road or returned a baby bird back into its nest, but who is out there trying to find ways to protect those rare and fragile species and lend a hand to Mother Nature to help offset the impact human civilization can impose on the natural world? There was an immense need for a grassroots type of organization to affect change on a local level. The Wildlifesos Trust was formed as a vehicle to gather enthusiastic folks from many different backgrounds who feel a calling to help wildlife. Through education, conservation, rescue, and rehabilitation, we can be a force to help turn the tide of the rapid decline of many species of wildlife in Mpumalanga and its surrounding areas. Our long term goal is to build a centre where we can focus and organize these efforts in a single place. Don’t you want to be a part of that? One of our mottos: “If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem! Making a difference in the future of a species through conservation involves embarking on an arduous path, one that will take months and maybe years of discussion, research, as well as partnering with government agencies, universities, and national groups. However, wildlife rescue and rehabilitation is a method of protecting populations that we were able to begin immediately. We can make an impact not only for that individual animal but for local populations that contribute to health of an ecosystem and the survival of the species as a whole. It is well understood that at every step of the way education and public outreach is the key to ensuring our work continues for years to come. There have been many animals that could not be saved due to lack of resources. Countless animals are hit by motor vehicles during our busy commutes and populations fade away from ancient habitat by our endless development. Let’s make it our goal to protect wildlife in any way we can. We do not want to stop human growth or outdoor recreation. We only aim to make the public aware of wildlife as we continue on our path and enable ways we can live alongside this precious resource, ensuring future generations can enjoy our wondrous wildlife, not in a zoo, textbook, or museum, but right here in our backyard.
