IT'S TIME TO ANNOUNCE OUR BRAND-NEW PROJECT! 🌊

Introducing the Whale & Dolphin Conservation project in TENERIFE 🐬🐋

This project combines sun-soaked coastlines, amazing volcanic landscapes and marine wildlife together for an unforgettable conservation adventure 🙌

Off Tenerife’s western coast, the deep waters of the Atlantic are home to resident pods of short-finned pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins, alongside many other cetacean species. As a volunteer, you’ll get to learn more about these incredible animals while contributing to research that helps protect the marine environment they call home.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

🐋 Join research boat surveys to search for whales and dolphins.
🎧 Record underwater sounds to help researchers study cetacean communication.
📸 Learn photo-identification techniques to recognise individual animals.
🔬 Contribute valuable data on marine wildlife and biodiversity.
🚤 Monitor vessel activity to help researchers understand the impact of human activity on cetaceans.
🏝️ Take part in coastal clean-ups and explore Tenerife’s incredible landscapes in your free time.

Volunteer Ryan Bough has returned from his experience at the Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary 🐆

His review of the project ⬇️

“This was my first solo trip and I could not have asked for a better experience. While I was only supposed to stay for two weeks I ended up staying for two months!

The sanctuary truly became a second home. The coordinators were extremely friendly and helpful getting you up to speed with the functions of the sanctuary. If you are unsure which project is right for you, book the Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary, you wont regret it.”

Orangutans are known for their mostly solitary lifestyle, but young orangutans can still have social moments with others, especially when opportunities to interact come along!

Pangolin release success story at the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre ✨

Wanjala was rescued as a young pangolin from the illegal wildlife trade. She was weak, dehydrated, and weighed just 3 kg. On her first day arriving at the sanctuary, she showed a strong appetite, eating for six hours straight, which inspired her name, meaning “hungry” in Chichewa 😆

After a few months, she was transferred to a pangolin rehabilitation site. The team took her on daily feeding walks, where she learned to dig for ants and termites in the rain-soaked ground. Her weight steadily increased to more than double her original 3 kg 👏

After more than a year in human care, Wanjala was released back into the wild. She adapted quickly, gaining more weight and travelling 5 km in just five days as she explored her new territory.

She was monitored for eight months, during which she established a home range in a dense, hilly forest 🌳

Volunteer Holly Hamer has shared some special moments from her time at Chimp Eden last week 📸🌱

Her review of the project👇

“I’d always wanted to volunteer with chimpanzees, and after some tough personal struggles I decided it was time to tick off that bucket list. And boy, it did not disappoint. I experienced amazing up-close insights into a chimpanzee sanctuary, whilst also getting the opportunity to share and try out my ideas for enrichment.

The people at the sanctuary are fantastic- so warm and welcoming. Nestled amongst nature I felt so relaxed and at home; not only was this experience good for the chimps and my bucket list, but also my mental wellbeing. I was in awe at Oddette’s bond with the chimps and her incredible dedication and passion. Promise’s food was delicious- I’m waiting on her restaurant/cook book!

The shining star of the experience though was Jade, the volunteer coordinator. Her positivity and energy are so rare in today’s world, and this was contagious. She’s one in a million, and The Great Projects is so lucky to have such a natural leader and people person. Thank you all so much for an experience I’ll never forget. Yes I did cry all the way to the airport.”

Enrichment isn’t one-size-fits-all! At Chimp Eden, every chimpanzee has their own personality, interests and individual needs ✨

Claude is a great example of how observing these behaviours can help create meaningful enrichment. After noticing Claude’s fascination with small objects, textures, beads and zips, volunteers helped create a sensory “busy board” specifically for him 🙌

Claude loved exploring the different objects, especially counting the colourful beads!

Volunteer Maya Schemer shared some special moments from her recent trip to Samboja Lestari ➡️🦧

Her review of the project👇

“Volunteering at Samboja Lestari was incredible - it is much more than just a holiday. We did lots of hard but manageable work and grew together as a group quickly! The food was really yummy and Kate was very kind, funny and good at instructing us and keeping us motivated. The accommodation is basically a hotel and very clean and comfy. There’s even massages available.”
