Internships allow you not just to learn great things but do great things.
The Durrell Conservation Academy are are pleased to offer a range of training internship opportunities for people to develop their skills and improve their changes of employability in the conservation sector. These are designed primarily for university-level or early career conservationists wishing to develop their practical ''hands on' skills.
We currently offer two types of training internships:
Voluntary Animal Keeper Internships - develop your practical skills in animal management, husbandry, field skills, or conservation education at Jersey Zoo
Mauritius Island Restoration Internships - for Indian Ocean conservationists to develop your field skills in threatened species recovery and habitat restoration.
If you are just interested in carrying out Zoo based research as part of a degree research requirement, then there is no need to apply for the Internship. Instead you can contact our Zoo research Coordinator Dr Eluned Price eluned.price@durrell.org to discuss your project proposal or find out about research projects that we need people to carry out. Please read the Research policy PDF below for more details.
