These are experiences in which we seek to contribute with our effort to a cause that we consider very important and receive a vital experience that will be, without a doubt, one of the most special of our lives. The groups have a maximum of 8 people.

Species identificationin our forays into the field, we will learn to distinguish some of the African species of different zoological groups. Among them, mammals, birds and reptiles will be highlighted.

Tracking: we will learn how to identify tracks and the main techniques for tracking and monitoring wildlife in natural environments.

STAYS

Las Estancias offer the opportunity to immerse oneself in the project in a deep way.. During the months of October to June, both included, the project accepts travelers of all profiles with or without previous experience, opening its doors for them to live an immersion in the Zambian culture and society, as well as in the work of the organization. You can take advantage of this opportunity to do your internship with us.

Culture and educationIn Zambia, together with the Zambian Ministry of Education, we conduct conservation education workshops in different primary and secondary schools. Although the younger population does not usually cause serious problems in terms of poaching, they do have a role in human-animal conflict and in the protection of their natural resources. It is therefore essential to develop educational programs, born from and for the local population, that take place in different social and educational centers and that contribute to generate a positive change in the collective conscience.

Prevention and mitigation of poachingwe collaborate with local authorities in activities against poaching. On a weekly basis we remove wire snares located in National Parks.

This form of poaching, prohibited by law, generates a great impact because it is not selective and remains active for years in protected areas. If not removed, the snares lead to the death of many animals, often species that are not intentionally targeted. In addition, this contributes to the spread of diseases and biological agents through the distribution of food without food safety.

Ecosystem maintenance: Non-degradable waste dumped in natural areas attracts animals due to their odors, flavors and colors, causing frequent accidents and deaths among them. Its collection is essential to avoid this problem, as well as the dissemination and maintenance of dirt, diseases and pests, in addition to the occurrence of fires. We carry out periodic raids to remove these residues from sensitive areas.

Sports and healthy habits: we develop a sports program, both in schools and educational institutions, as well as in rural and local communities. These activities involve people of all ages and conditions and are one of the most rewarding and constructive activities, from a playful aspect, which in any case allows us to generate that positive awareness about life habits and healthy alternatives.

The duration of stays ranges from one week to 30 days. If you would like to extend your stay, a temporary work permit must be obtained at an additional cost, which will allow you to extend your stay for an additional 90 days.
