Join the Singapore Zoo as a conservation ambassador today!

The Singapore Zoo is now opening our doors to an array of rewarding volunteering opportunities!

 

Inspect the elegance of butterflies and watch the endangered ring-tailed lemurs prance about with their long tails in mid-air. Introduce the world’s longest snake and intrigue your audience with some curious-looking blue-tongued reptiles! These are just some of the animals that you will come across at the Fragile Forest, Reptile House and Australian Outback exhibits when you volunteer as a Conservation Ambassador.
If you have an unwavering love for animals and Mother Nature, an inquisitive pursuit for animal and plant mysteries and have flair for people interaction, join the dedicated team of SPH Foundation Conservation Ambassador at Wildlife Reserves Singapore!

Conceptualized for the upper primary students, Wildlife Buddies is part of the Service Learning Programmes where students are given the chance to play the roles of teachers and leaders. Through active learning about the animals and the environment, and interaction with peers, these students will foster a deeper sense of conservation. This service learning process will also help develop confidence in themselves.

Students will be trained by Education staff on selected exhibits. With their newfound knowledge, can then help spread conservation messages about the animals to their buddies, or design a trail for the younger students.
