Description:
Ghana's leading wildlife society, is a non-governmental, non-political, non-profit making environmental organization which seeks to conserve wildlife in all its forms to ensure a better environment and improved quality of life for all people.
The GWS was first formed in the early 1970s but functioned for a few years and became dormant. In 1991, it was revived by the Save the Seashore Birds Project - Ghana (SSPC-G), a project that aimed at protecting sea and shore birds and their coastal wetland habitats in Ghana. When the SSBP-G ended in June 1994, the Society took over and continued the conservation activities initiated by the project.
The Society require the following volunteers:
* Researchers
Researchers are required by the Ghana Wildlife Society to help search for and document endangered and rare species in the vast Ghanaian rainforests.
* Students
If you are interested in and dedicated to wildlife conservation and want to work in the field, you are more than welcome to join the GWS team.
* Vets
Volunteers will provide healthcare to endangered species in Ghana. This will include checking their fitness and check for & treat infections and diseases.
* Professional photographers
Photographers are required to take pictures of animals in their natural environment and follow GWS officials in their expeditions into the rainforests and other project locations.
