VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS #DejaTuHuella
What does it consist of?
The Leave Your Mark volunteer program at the Monkey Park Foundation consists of giving you the opportunity to be part of our team, learn about the wildlife of our country, the NGUMU community garden, our culture and language, getting closer to our work, understanding, why and how important it is not to commercialize, hunt and interact with the wild animals that we protect.
Generating awareness and, above all, respect for the fauna and flora found not only in the Refuge, but in any part of the world, is one of our main objectives.
The idea is to teach everything that we ourselves also learn, so that the management of avoiding the existence of a customary bond with humans is complied with, and ensuring an optimal subsequent release, as well as having adequate enclosures to be able to rehabilitate them.
Understand how complicated an animal is in captivity, its needs and the effort required to set up an enclosure, build it and feed it without human intervention, always keeping the enclosures as clean as possible.
