Wildlife conservation volunteers welcomed to KZN

The international volunteers are from about 12 countries.

YouTube sensation and wildlife conservationist Dingo Dinkelman and his team welcomed several international volunteers to KwaZulu-Natal last month, to assist with numerous conservation projects.

“It’s such a wild ride seeing these fresh-faced visitors start out with zero knowledge about wildlife and the bush to getting up-close-and-personal with snakes, crocs, rhinos and whatever African wildlife we happen to encounter along the journey,” said Dinkelman.

In addition to the reptile relocation, these visitors from 12 countries – among them the United States, Canada, Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom and Israel – will assist in running Dingo’s Wildlife Club, and Dingo’s public exhibition at Shelly Beach Shopping Centre on the South Coast as well as Dingo’s Farm and Reptile Park at Piggly Wiggly in the Midlands.

During their two-month stay, the volunteers will also be involved in vital bush clearing, animal husbandry, diving with sharks and more.
