In Sri Lanka, there are frequent conflicts between humans and elephants, as the elephants' habitat increasingly overlaps with local communities. The project was founded to resolve this conflict and protect the elephants. As a volunteer, you will support the team in researching and observing the elephants, thereby helping to protect these endangered animals.

In Sri Lanka, numerous dogs live wild on the streets. In the dog project, these street dogs are cared for, groomed, neutered, vaccinated and, if possible, placed in a new home. You will support the team in particular with the care and feeding of the dogs and will help the often shy animals to get used to humans, e.g. by playing with them.
