You are enthusiastic, feel you could make a real contribution to the programme, enjoy working outdoors and as part of a team, and are prepared to work long hours. Lemur Venture is open to volunteers of all nationalities although we do ask that individuals should be able to speak English. All volunteers must be over 18, but there is no upper age limit. However, you will need to be very fit, healthy and prepared for sometimes hot and humid conditions and demanding physical work.

We envisage that the programme will be of particular interest to those wishing to pursue a career in zoology, the environment, and/or conservation or who are currently studying for such courses. However, no prior experience in conservation or knowledge of zoology is required, but applicants will be expected to have at least a basic knowledge of ecology and a keen interest in conservation issues.
