Description:
ELEP collaborates with some animal rescue centres, animal sanctuaries and zoos throughout Ecuador which hosts a huge variety of animals, some of them victims of unhealthy and illegal situations, some others with birth defects or simply animals that have been born within the centres. The goal of this program is to rescue, rehabilitate and relocate confiscated animals to their natural habitat. Volunteers will work to improve the lives of animals at the centre with the intention, where possible, of successfully re-introducing them to the wild. This project is an ideal opportunity for animal-loving volunteers. Volunteers help care for the animals on a day to day basis as well as cleaning and repairing cages, feeding the animals, helping to improve facilities to create a more natural environment for the animals, monitoring progress, teaching the animals how to eat, fend and other behaviours they need to know in the wild.
