Introduction

This Sanctuary is a non-profit organization located in the cloud-forest of Tutamoe Peak in Northland, New Zealand. The area is home to the endangered kiwi bird and to the rare giant kauri snail. Locals and volunteers are working together to protect this lush forest and to restore it to its natural splendor. The organization is built on sustainable principles and it is totally off-grid with most of the structures and tools having been recycled from other projects.

Working with the Department of Conservation, we are also able to protect and monitor the precious wildlife in a number of other forests each having its unique characteristics. Our volunteers perform a wide range of these activities, creating access trails, protecting native species from invasive rats, possums, and stoats, planting native trees, monitoring the pest numbers, and building an environment that will continue to be home to the endangered Kiwi and Kokako birds. This project not only gives youa chance to actively restore protected natural ecosystems, but it also creates an everlasting experience for all who are involved.

As an intern you will receive extra training and mentoring that would give you the skills to take charge of a small team of volunteers. With time, you will be in charge of the planning of activities, preparation, new volunteer training, and safety procedures.

You will also learn the basics of what is needed to set-up a similar not-for-profit organization from the design stage to accounting and marketing strategies.
