Kenya Wildlife
Study & Conservation Projects
Jubileeventures.org
offers you the
opportunity of a lifetime to work with wildlife in
Kenya's Amboseli
and Tsavo West National parks. This program is open to
people aged 18-55, who love to work with animals, and want a real
jungle experience in Africa. International
volunteers,
interns and
independent study abroad
students
attached to this
program can choose to work
mainly with elephants or lions,
or both animal species, in the buffer zones
of Kenya's famous wildlife protection areas.
The
Kenya Elephant Conservation Project
 |
Elephants normally require
huge swaths of land for foraging and watering. Competition between
humans and animals forces the elephant to move into areas adjacent
protected parks
creating conflict with the human population. Varying elephant migratory
patterns have made it hard to acquire data showing the distribution,
numbers, etc; data that can be used in
conservation and wildlife management efforts. read on...

The Kenya Lion Conservation Project
 |
Lion
numbers have continued to decline in and around Kenya's wildlife
protected areas due to diverse
reasons including conflict with
humans and competition with other carnivores. Yet the Lion is an
important species as it is a top predator, affecting the numbers of its
prey
and competitor species. This project will support conservation
efforts by documenting the
status of the lion in the Rombo area, as this remains one of the few
areas in
which there are lions living in relatively harmony with the community. read on...
