Are you a vegan wildlife enthusiast who wants to make a difference in the world? Why not volunteer on our small, friendly team and help us to research the intricate relationships between humans and animals in the UK? This remote, flexible, part-time (5 hrs/wk) online role is ideal for someone passionate about UK wildlife, animal wellbeing, and ethical conservation.
Summary of the Volunteer Role
As a Human-Animal Conflict Research Assistant, you will be at the forefront of studying and understanding the intricate relationships between humans and animals and assessing the most misunderstood and underrepresented cases of wildlife suffering in the UK. Our findings should play a vital role in informing the wider community and potentially lead to a positive change towards the concept of coexistence within more traditional Wildlife Management frameworks.
