Project Description

In 2007, due to the increasing threats to dugongs, WARF added another aspect to the existing project, creating the Sea Turtle and Dugong Research, Education and Conservation Project. The newly modified project now seeks to foster, promote, and support scientific research related to dugongs as well as sea turtles, with a focus on populations in Thailand where resources are currently limited. The project intends to facilitate meaningful exchange of information among scientists, students, regulatory agencies, NGOs, and concerned citizens. It will promote effective communication about science and conservation to diverse audiences in order to increase awareness. Within the community, the aim is to support conservation efforts by local people in Thailand and to provide scientific data to local decision makers concerned with dugong and sea turtle conservation.

When not working on turtle and dugong duties, volunteers help with the daily operations in the Wild Animal Rescue and Education Centre (WARED) . The WARED also houses gibbons and macaques. There are many reasons why they come to be here but usually it's because they were mistreated in captivity. Many of them come here with no experience of interacting with their own species so WARF keeps them in as natural an environment as possible in the hope of changing that.

WARF is actively involved in conservation awareness among the local communities and volunteers are encouraged to get involved. We have a good relationship within the village, many of the workers here are from the area, and we hope to build on this as community involvement is vital if this project is to succeed. As this project is both very busy and still in the developing stages. We encourage volunteers to take the initiative - so there is lots of room to make your mark!
