Elephant and wildlife volunteering in Sri Lanka
Eco-volontaire lists carefully selected volunteer projects in Sri Lanka, run by local NGOs, associations or specialised volunteering agencies that we have vetted for their ethics and their real impact on biodiversity.
What you can do:
– Help protect elephants and wildlife in Wasgamuwa National Park, alongside a local community committed to living in harmony with its environment.
– Protect sea turtles on the beaches of Galle, with homestay accommodation available.
– Join a scientific expedition combining two research projects, one on elephants and one on leopards.
Who it’s for: projects are open from age 16 or 18 depending on the mission, and the elephant project in Wasgamuwa welcomes families. No scientific background is needed.
Languages: English, Sinhala.
How it works: contact the partner organisation directly through Eco-volontaire, free of charge. You book with them at their own price: using Eco-volontaire adds nothing to what you pay.
