Long-term volunteer field worker/research assistant position for great ape research and conservation, rural development and socio-economic projects in southeast Cameroon, Central Africa

Hiring Organization: Projet Grands Singes (PGS), Centre for Research and Conservation (CRC) of the Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp (RZSA), Belgium.

Date Posted: 2011-07-27

Position Description: Context The majority of populations of great apes lie outside the boundaries of protected areas in Africa, while most conversation and research projects work within National Parks and Reserves. PGS recognises this important gap in great ape protection and sees the necessity of working with local communities and logging companies with the objective of ensuring regulated and sustainable use of natural resources for long-term realistic conservation of forests and wildlife. PGS therefore works in a non-protected area of forest, which is fiercely hunted by local people and lies within the concessions of a logging company. Therefore, the reality of conservation and research attempts in this area involves many difficulties, including the poverty of villagers. PGS works very closely with rural communities and provides developmental aid as a way of creating alternatives to hunting, and gives value to great apes through the revenue generated by scientific tourism. PGS exploits this by providing facilities for researchers, students and volunteers to come and work within the PGS area of interest while simultaneously providing revenue and employment for local peoples, in return for the local protection of great apes.

Location PGS works in Cameroon, Central Africa, in the village communities and the forest at the northern periphery of the Dja Biosphere Reserve (DBR), Haut Nyong, southeastern Cameroon. The forest research site is approximately 10 km from the villages where PGS carries out its rural development projects, and these villages are 5 hr by car from Yaoundé. It is in the transition zone of the Atlantic coastal rainforests of southern Nigeria and south-west Cameroon, and the evergreen forests of Equatorial Guinea and the Congo Basin. Annual rainfall averages 1570 mm and falls during two wet seasons, March to June and September to November. There is an equatorial type climate and the temperature remains almost constant during the year, averaging 23.3 °C (recorded at 640 m). August is the coolest month, with a mean monthly minimum of 18 °C and maximum of 27 °C, and April is the hottest with mean minimum temperature of 19 °C and maximum of 30 °C.

Animals present in this area include: western lowland gorilla, central chimpanzee, black and white colobus monkey, mandrill and drill, and many other primate species; elephant, buffalo, sitatunga, giant pangolin and leopard.

Duties Working as a research assistant in the forest will involve walking daily on transects within the forest research site and gathering information on great ape socio-ecology, diet, ranging patterns, nest-building behaviour, etc, depending on the current line of research. Possible future studies include the impacts of commercial logging and its associated problems on great ape populations; hunting/poaching surveys. There are also opportunities to work at the village level, being involved with development projects, training and workshops, mammal inventories, socio-economic surveys, educational and sensitisation programmes, wildlife-law awareness-raising, etc.

The successful candidate will be provided with necessary research equipment and will be expected to follow certain protocols when collecting information in the forest or village. You will be accompanied at all times by a trained and knowledgeable local guide, Cameroonian or international researcher, or member of the PGS team. It is estimated that you will spend 2 or 3 weeks in the field each month and 1 or 2 weeks in Yaoundé, to work on data entry, analysis and report-writing, though this is flexible.

The field worker is welcome to propose his/her own research/study idea, or to assist in any ongoing projects in the field, dependant on the needs, current activities and budget of the project. Specifics will be arranged on arrival.

Facilities The forest research camp is basic with minimal solar power for lights and a laptop, a gas stove, bucket shower and long-drop latrine, and simple raffia shelters for the kitchen/living area and laboratory. In the village, the field worker will sleep in his/her tent, but can use the gas stove in the PGS house and the nearby bucket shower and long-drop latrine. While in Yaoundé the field worker will stay at the PGS apartment where they can use all facilities when available (including hot running water and wireless internet).

Qualifications/Experience: Requirements An interest in conservation or research of great apes or other wildlife and/or rural development and socio-economics is necessary. Physical fitness and tolerance of tough conditions is an advantage. Knowledge of French, a grounding in scientific methodology and an experience of living and working in Central Africa would be hugely beneficial. The volunteer will be expected to spend some field missions in the research camp alone, possibly within 3 months of arrival, with no other researcher present and with local guides and cooks to manage, etc. It is therefore important to be comfortable with living in isolation for weeks at a time while maintaining high spirits and professionalism.

Salary/funding: Funding No stipend can be offered, and the successful candidate will be expected to cover his/her flight (approx. €800 from Europe) and visa (approx. €100), as well as all other costs related to their travel (ie, insurance, vaccinations, etc) and should bring a tent, sleeping bag and personal items required for living in the forest/village. The field worker must also contribute 5,000 CFA (~€8) per night to stay in the PGS apartment when spending time in Yaoundé, and for this has unlimited use of the facilities when available (hot water, washing machine, internet, etc) (this amount also contains a contribution to development and conservation activities). Food and drink is not supplied. Field worker must buy their own food prior to each entry into the forest. Finally, the field worker must cover the costs of research permits (usually not exceeding €300).

Support provided for internship/volunteer positions (travel, meals, lodging): PGS will arrange all official papers required for working in Cameroon and for obtaining a visa and will cover all in-country transport costs. Necessary equipment for working in the forest, and the presence of a trained and experienced local guide is arranged by the project. There is no fee for staying in the research camp or project village base.

Term of Appointment: Duration This position is for a minimum of 12 months, though can be arranged for a longer period. Position is available from late 2011, though exact dates can be arranged to suit.

Application Deadline: For more information, interested candidates should write to Nikki.tagg@kmda.org with a cover letter and CV before 15 September 2011.

Orphan Monkey Care Givers

Hiring Organization: Centre for Animal Rehabilitation and Education

Date Posted: 2011-07-21

Position Description: This is one volunteer programme that can absolutely guarantee hands on experience with orphaned baby primates (so long as you are fit & healthy and ready to be groomed, lipsmacked, have the occassional playful nip, groom & lipsmack back & offer a warm lap to sleep in).

You will spend your time here caring for the centre's orphaned monkeys - the charming, often misunderstood, beautiful baboons. Being situated in a nature reserve, in the stunning South African bush you will have the opportunity to see other wildlife such as giraffe and elephants all around. Being the largest baboon rehabilitation facility worldwide, we unfortunately recieve a high volume helpless orphan baboons throughout the year due to them being orphaned at the hands of farmers, road accidents, poisoning, the pet trade and cruelty. We need a high volume of volunteers all year round to help take care of the babies, prepare food for the adult troops awaiting release and help fund the care of the baboons housed at the sanctuary.

A typical day in the life of a volunteer:

Volunteers take the babies out of their sleeping cages at 6-7am and they go to bed at around 5 or 6pm (in otherwords dawn and dusk), whilst in the nursery they have a human volunteer present all day as they are all babies and being left alone is scary for them & the smallest ones need assitance with drinking milk & shelter when the other orphans get too much for them and they need a sleep. This is taken in shifts. The idea is that the humans act as the 'aunties' and do exactly what their mothers and aunts would in the wild: privide a secure place for sleeping, making sure no one gets picked on, ensure they have access to milk and food and basically make them feel secure and safe. In the nursery they learn how to be a baboon, they make friends and become a cohesive troop. After the age of around a year, they are weaned from human contact, and contact is restricted.

Typical volunteer day shifts:

7am - get up, take babies to the nursery. 7am feed room - prepare food for the resident captive troops who are awaiting release into the wild - usually involves filling crates with the food items available. 8am - clean up - cleaning sleeping cages/bottles/blankets etc

Some one (usually 2 volunteers) take bottle shifts to make the orphans bottles and fresh food, usually at about 10am, 12, 2pm and 4pm.

Play room shifts - volunteers take it in turns to sit in the nursery from dawn til dusk.

The day normally finishes about 5pm

  • If students wish to conduct non-invasive research projects, these can usually be accommodated.

CARE is looking for students especially interested in conducting research or projects which involves; parasitological, genetic comparisons within the chacma species, design and building enclosures and structures etc, marketing and PR, the effects of castration on behaviour, contraception. If you are interested in conducting a project at CARE we ask you to present us with a research proposal for approval and you must fund all your own research and accomodation costs.

Qualifications/Experience: No qualifications are required, although we favour individuals with some experience or qualifications within the animal or caring fields! You must have a love for nature and a passion for animals, any age can volunteer above 18 years old. You must be physically fit, the work is not really hard but some lifting of food and maintaining enclosures is required and the baboons will jump on you whilst playing in the nursery, they will pull hair and it is likely you may get bitten by the babies at some point.

You must be healthy with no infectious medical issues. You must be free from hepatitis (all forms), TB, herepes, AIDS, coughs/colds, eye infections & all other infectious diseases as our primates can catch human diseases/infections.

Salary/funding: CARE receives no funding from governments and grants are limited, therefore we rely on volunteers. You must pay to volunteer here as it will cover your food and resource expenses. All the money raised through volunteers supports the care for the babooons - from handrearing orphans, feeding captive troops, filling the vehicles with fuel to pick up food, building and maintaining enclosures, medical care, planning & implementation of releases and post release monitoring - all these things need funding. CARE receives no government help at all and relies of funding from volunteers.

Accomodation/Food/Resouce use fee is US$450 per week (this is the equivalent of £285 per week). We charge this for the first 8 weeks then it is discounted by 20% = $360 per week.

Support provided for internship/volunteer positions (travel, meals, lodging): All meals and accomodation are provided.

  • The Volunteer Accommodation*

Volunteer accomodation is shared and simple. Our luxury is the fact there are usually hot showers, usually electric and trips to town once a week to buy groceries (only space for one or two volunteers to join so it is not guarenteed you can go).

From wild baboons, elephants and kudu to snakes (some poisonous), scorpions, lizards and a whole range of creepy crawlies!) but you are living in the African bush and get to experience breathtaking and wonderful wildlife encounters! Considering we are in the bush, the accomodation isn't bad and we will provide you with a proper bed with a nice matress and a mosquito net/tent to keep you safe from any bugs or other house friends at night.

Volunteers are provided with all meals (luxury items such as chocolate and alcohol can be purchased in the 'tuc shop'). Volunteers prepare their own breakfast and lunch and often take it in turns to cook evening meals. The meals are usually very good, consisting of vegetables, potatos, pasta, rice, cereals, yogurt, milk, eggs, cheese, vegetarian soy products and occassionally chicken and mince for non-vegetarians.

Please bear in mind you are living in the bush, so encountering rats, snakes, bugs and more should be expected.

Volunteers must just cover the costs of their flights or bus to Phalaborwa (South Africa, Limpopo), we will pick you up from there and return you on your depature. Volunteers will pay for their time at CARE, this donation is towards their food and resource use, plus a small donation to pay for the monkeys food.

Field assistant on mouse lemur in Ankarafantsika National Park, Madagascar

Hiring Organization: School of Biological and Conservation Sciences - University of KwaZulu-Natal (Pietermaritzburg)

Date Posted: 2011-07-23

Position Description: We are looking for a volunteer veterinarian to assist on a Post-doctoral project investigating the physiological flexibility of torpor expression according to different habitats. Specifically, we will be investigating the effect of deforestation on pattern of heterothermy. Typically, the effects of deforestation on Malagasy fauna have been examined in terms of alterations to diet, behavior and population genetics. However, the effect of deforestation on physiological alterations remains unknown. Impaired heterothermy, that is, the inability to maximize energetic savings through torpor and hibernation, is likely to have important energetic consequences for all Malagasy heterotherms. It is not known, for example, whether impaired heterothermy decreases breeding success, and hence fitness. For many of the rare, endemic heterotherms in Madagascar under threat from habitat destruction and deforestation, the answer to this question is crucial in terms of conservation objectives. To answer this question body temperature and metabolic measurements will be measured continuously in both males and females mouse lemurs of both species. This study will be conducted on wild mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus, Microcebus ravelobensis) in the dry deciduous forest of the Réserve forestière d’Ampijoroa in the Ankarafantsika National Park located about 110 km southeast of the town Mahajanga in northwestern Madagascar. The applicant will be expected to work on 4-6 days a week. The field assistant will be involved in trapping animals during the night (2-3hours) and helping the post-doctoral student on laboratory experiment during the day. All animals will be released the night after. Appropriate training on animals handling will be provided. This position is ideal for veterinary students aiming to gain experience in fieldwork and data collection.

Qualifications/Experience: Candidates must possess a valid license to practice veterinary medicine supporting skills to practice small surgery and animal management. Applicants should have some experience in animal care and husbandry. Previous field experience is not necessary. Successful applicants will have an excellent level of physical fitness and be able to work independently under isolated and demanding conditions in a hot environment with snakes, spiders and bugs. The applicant should be willing comfortable living under basic conditions. Accommodations at the field site are rustic but adequate (tents, toilet, showers, well water, electricity). Internet and cellphone reception can be gained by a 20-minute walk. The language in our team is English and French. Knowledge of French is helpful, but not necessary.

Salary/funding: This is a volunteer position, no wage is currently available. You are expected to provide your own airfare and pay for you own entry visa and health insurance. The costs of your accommodation, camp fees and food costs will be covered. Tent will be provided.

Term of Appointment: 1 month or more according to volunteer expectation. The main work will begin the 2nd until the end of September 2011, but behavioral experiments will last until the end of January 2012 if the candidate would like to stay.

Application Deadline: Target application date is July 31st 2011, but open until a suitable candidate has been found.

Comments: To apply, email the following to canale.c.i@gmail.com: • Your current CV. • A cover letter explaining your qualifications and why you are interested in this position, listing all relevant veterinary experience and details. Bibliography on the subject will be sent before if needed.
