Conserve Africa’s Big 5 Animals! Going on a safari to see Africa’s Big Five is an adventure people dream of adding to their bucket list. It’s thrilling to seek out and photograph the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo because these large animals can be dangerous.
It’s their wild and unpredictable nature that makes them so attractive to see in person, but it’s also the reason they are a big game sport. But because the Big Five are the most dangerous animals to track on foot, they are irresistible to trophy hunters.
It’s difficult to imagine that people still hunt important African animals for pleasure, or that some countries allow their iconic wildlife be killed for trophies, especially when their populations are disappearing. But sport hunting is a reality, and nearly as damaging to animal populations as illegal poaching.
There is hope for Africa’s Big Five, however, with Go Volunteer Africa focusing on conserving and protecting these special animals, and maintaining their habitats for future generations. Go Volunteer Africa with her development partners work from generosity, but also as part of a sustainable, responsible ecotourism industry.
Take visitors to view an elephant herd and let them “shoot” photographs instead of bullets and they’ll be able to profit from that same herd for a lifetime. If you would like to advocate for endangered animals, especially the Big Five, consider a conservation volunteer trip to Africa where you can work towards the protection of all living creatures.
When you study conservation as an environmental scientist, you’re mainly concerned with ecology and how to improve the wellbeing and habitats of wildlife and plants. You can choose to work towards preservation in a variety of ecosystems, including rainforests, oceans, and grasslands.
There are exciting opportunities for people who want to dedicate themselves to being wildlife advocates or conservationists. If you’re interested in the idea of working with wildlife, consider a volunteer opportunity or internship in Africa that puts you close to important apex animals.
Choose to join the Wildlife Conservation project, and do everything from helping to maintain the reserve’s ecosystem to engaging in anti-poaching initiatives- Conserve Africa’s Big 5 Animals. On a conservation project, you will team up with passionate environmentalists and contribute to real, ongoing research and work that defends our environment.
