Namibia Desert Elephant Conservation
This volunteer project is about getting out into the field and really making a difference at the forefront of elephant conservation. It is ideally suited to career breaks, grown up gap years and short adventure holidays, with each part of the programme broken into 2 week periods.
Voluntary WorkThe Namibia voluntary work is based around these elephants, ensuring their survival alongside local Namibian landowners who compete for natural land resources. They come into conflict over water supplies and grazing land.
The work that you will be doing at the project focuses on 2 main areas to ensure that the future of these elephants are protected:
- Working with landowners - Educating farmers on how to manage conflicts with elephants. Help them build protection around their vital resources such as water points as well as creating extra ones for the elephants so as not to disturb the farmers
- Monitoring of elephant herds - assisting with the on-going monitoring and identification work
LocationThe Desert Elephant project takes you to the Northwest region of Namib desert locally know as Damaraland. It is home to a small population of desert-adapted elephants, which roam free in the wild.
Accommodation and MealsA mobile base camp is set up at each project site, consisting of 2 man tents. Alternatively it is possible to sleep under the stars. Toilets and showers are `bush' style.
Meals are included in the cost of the programme.
