Zoology & Wildlife Internships Abroad

Since every corner of the world has its unique ecological footprint, options for where to complete a wildlife internship abroad are only limited by the experience you wish to gain. To narrow down your options, think about what type of zoology and wildlife sciences you want to specialize in. Also, consider opting for warmer climates, where the variety of animal species tends to be greater. 

Australia. Home to unique species of plants and animals not found anywhere else on the planet, Australia is a fantastic location for zoology internships abroad. International zoology internships may include working directly with conservation projects on the Great Barrier Reef, taking care of adorable patients at the Australian Wombat Zoo, or helping out one of many wildlife hospitals throughout the country. 

Thailand. International zoology internships in Thailand will give you access to the country’s remarkable biodiversity. Wildlife projects that involve working with elephant rescues, aiding gibbons who have been injured or abused, or one of the many marine conservation projects will give you experience working with species you’d never meet at home, in addition to exposure to a new language and culture.

Peru. Zoology internships abroad in Peru allow you to participate in sustainability projects protecting endangered plants and animal species in the heart of the Amazon rainforest or one of the many marine conservation projects on the Peruvian coast. Plus, you’ll get to improve your Spanish language skills while being in proximity to some of the world’s greatest treasures, such as Machu Picchu, to explore during your time off from protecting animals. 

Zimbabwe. Nowhere conjures up more romantic images of animals in the wild than Africa, and Zimbabwe will not disappoint you. Home to the Big 5 (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and cape buffalo), zoology internships abroad in this beautiful country include lion conservation projects in Victoria Falls or projects involving holistic horse management.
