Thailand seamlessly blends together the modern and the traditional, boasting both tropical beaches and royal palaces. However, it struggles to protect its diverse wildlife. The “Gibbon Conservation and Rescue Sanctuary Volunteering in Thailand” trip works to place gibbons in a caring sanctuary. They may have been victims of abuse, survived rough contact with humans or even been injured. Gibbons are a small type of ape that lives in Southeast Asian tropical forests. Their habitats are disappearing due to deforestation, and they are often captured by humans. Therefore, gibbons are one of the most threatened primates. As a volunteer, plan to work at a local sanctuary to provide rescued gibbons with a safe and comfortable environment. The age requirement for this trip is 18 years old and it costs $1,343 for one week with volunteer opportunities lasting up to 12 weeks.
