Orangutan Tropical Peatland Research Project Volunteers Wanted

The Orangutan Tropical Peatland Research Project works to protect one of the most important areas of tropical rainforest in Borneo - the Sebangau Forest in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. We monitor the distribution, population status, behaviour and ecology of the forest's flagship ape species, carry out biodiversity and forestry research, and work with local partners to implement conservation solutions.

Our research and eco-volunteer program is a focus for conservation efforts, provides much-needed employment and financial benefits for the local community and has replaced illegal logging as the main activity and source of income in the northern Sebangau Forest.

A limited number of volunteer places are available each year to participate in the research programmes of the Forest Dynamics and Biodiversity Monitoring Teams. This would particularly suit recent graduates or undergraduates wishing to gain fieldwork experience in a tropical forest environment. A willingness to work long hours in the field, a good level of fitness, and basic biological/ecological knowledge is advantageous. There are also several opportunities for students to undertake research for part of their undergraduate honours project or post graduate masters thesis.
