Whoohoo!

It´s (almost) official, I´ll be having a 7-8 week holiday this year, starting on September the 6th!

So, now I´m trying to find something worthwhile and affordable to do.
Does anybody know of any projects (preferably with animals) needing help? Asia or Madagascar would be great, but I´ll consider anywhere. I´m a 33 yr old german biologist with a lot of experience in animal care/zookeeping , also wildlife, esp. bats.
I don´t expect to paid and will cover my travel expenses, but free accomodation would be nice…
Please drop me a line if you know of anywhere or a place to ask.

So far I´ve worked as a Trainee for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust (aka “Jersey Zoo”), for a monk seal project in Turkey, with sea turtles in Greece twice, Gibbons in Thailand, tropical research station in Australia (flying foxes), research on bats in Costa Rica and I´ve volunteered at local zoos and animal shelters – CV on request.

Recently I´ve also become interested in biological pest control, so if anyone knows of a place working on that ...
