Volunteers
Our work is supported by volunteers who believe in the goals
and activities of the AJWCEF. Volunteers can assist in a
number of ways, but because registration as an AJWCEF
volunteer is restricted to AJWCEF members, please apply to
become an AJWCEF volunteer first.
The types of volunteer work available at present are as
below. Please contact the AJWCEF Head Office for further
details.
1.
Operations Volunteer
We
are seeking volunteers to assist with the day-to-day
operations of the AJWCEF. Volunteers would primarily be
involved in assisting in publicity for seminars, symposiums
and other events held by the AJWCEF. If you are interested
in wildlife conservation and rescue, environmental
preservation, international exchange and contributing to
international society, or interested in other related
activities, please contact us. We are particularly looking
for volunteers with leadership skills to drive activities in
regional areas (Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Hokuriku, Chubu,
Kansai, Chugoku, Shikoku, Kyushu, Okinawa).
2.Animal
Care Volunteer
Animal
care volunteers will work at the coal-face of wildlife and
environmental conservation, and so a number of conditions
apply. Given that handling wildlife differs from handling
domestic animals, a basic but solid knowledge of the animals
and relevant training is required, as is some knowledge of
zoonotic diseases. Only people who have completed an
introductory or more advanced training under the AJWCEF's
own system are eligible to register as volunteer candidates.
Only volunteers who are able to spend 2 months or more at
their allocated facility will be eligible.
The
AJWCEF, however, does intend to undertake a variety of other
activities in the future, such as planting eucalyptus trees
to regenerate wildlife habitat that has been destroyed.
Unlike with the animal care volunteers, no particular
conditions apply to this sort of activity. Anyone from
children to the elderly can participate to the extent of
their own physical capabilities. The AJWCEF will place
notices calling for such volunteers as needed, so please
keep an eye
on our web site!
3.Volunteers to
Support the AJWCEF at The Conference of Parties to the
Treaty on Biological Diversity (COP 10)
The AJWCEF
is aiming to participate in the COP 10 to be held in October
2010 in Nagoya, Japan, in the form of the presentation of
AJWCEF research results and a booth at the Interactive Fair.
Once our participation in this event is confirmed, we will
be asking for volunteers to assist in publicity activities
at the COP 10 venue.
