Visual Storytellers and Writers
Visual storytellers inspire the world by amplifying stories about nature through their work. Whether they are wildlife photographers, nature photographers, cinematographers, or filmmakers, they capture stunning images and videos to reveal nature’s hidden stories. Through documentaries, they raise awareness about wildlife conservation, protection, and preservation.

Nature Guides and Birders
This includes naturalists, birders, safari guides, forest guides, field guides, trainers, and animal whisperers who work closely with nature, bridging the gap between the wild and humans. They ensure that human interaction with the natural world does not disturb the ecology but helps to manage human-wildlife conflict.

They communicate and interpret the significance of the environment, promote minimal impact practices, ensure the sustainability of the natural and cultural environment, and encourage tourists to consider their own lives concerning broader ecological or cultural concerns.

The minimum duration for volunteering is 30 days.
