Kuruluş
Wild Futures is a UK registered charity founded upon six decades of experience as a leader in the field of primate welfare and conservation, environmental education and sustainable practice. The host is committed to protecting primates and habitats worldwide, with the protection of non-human primates at the forefront of the charities work. The safe haven for monkeys rescued from situations of abuse and neglect is The Monkey Sanctuary in Cornwall, which has an international reputation for its levels of care and innovative management techniques.
İş Tanımı
The host is looking for passionate, motivated and dedicated volunteers who have an interest in animal welfare and conservation. Work includes providing a high standard of care to monkey who have been rescued from the UK pet trade, allowing them to live in stable, enriching social groups.
Volunteers will spend the mornings helping clean the enclosures. In the afternoons, volunteers will be preparing monkey food bowls and learning to identify edible wild leaves to use to make enrichment items for the monkeys. Volunteers will be helping with daily tasks and general upkeeping, including cleaning, tidying, maintenance and gardening. When the site is open to the public, volunteers may help full time members of staff provide arts and crafts workshops to visiting children.
Volunteers will receive training on how to behave around monkeys, along with a general background regarding the UK Pet Trade and the impact of captivity on monkeys as well as training on how to prepare enclosures, food and enrichment for the monkeys – a truly once in a lifetime experience! It is important to note, volunteers will have no direct contact with the monkeys.

Volunteers will have access to a living room with a TV, board games, DVDs and an area to relaced. Optional evening entertainments are listed on the chalkboard. Volunteers will have access to showers, hot water and a washing machine and detergent. There is a specific drying room to dry clothes.

The volunteers are based a 45-minute walk from the picturesque seaside town of Looe. Volunteers will stay at the sanctuary in Murrayton House, a 19th Century Building, which has beautiful views of the rising and setting sun, and wildlife gardens to relax in and enjoy.
Looe is the picturesque fishing harbour situated in South East Cornwall, just a further 45 minutes from the big city of Plymouth. Looe is famous for fish and a sandy beach with lots of shops, hikes, food and fun to be had! Looe has a rich history such as the famous Looe Bridge that joins the East and West towns. There are many hidden treasures in including beautiful woodland and cobbled streets lined with independent shops and restaurants.
