Elephant conservation in Namibia
Venture to ‘Damaraland’ in the Namib Desert with GVI. This tribal area runs parallel to the Skeleton Coast, and is home to a small population of desert elephants who need your help. As a volunteer on this project you will spend days roaming the desert on patrol, camping in the wild and keeping close to the elephants you are observing. With regard to community work, you will help build protective walls around windmills and water points, as well as educate subsistence farmers on managing their conflicts with the elephants.
