Animal SOS!

Holidays that have made a difference ...

Did you know that there are more than 5,000 endangered animal species in the world today and at least one species dies out every year? Well, these three people decided to do something about it! They've all recently been on a working holiday to help an endangered species. They told us all about their experiences ...

Pink River Dolphin

Hayley has just spent three months on a floating house boat in the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. “I was part of an observation team doing research, and it was amazing!” she says. “Every year, we lose about 10% of these clever creatures. They swim in polluted waters and sometimes get caught in fishermen's nets. There are more than 300 dolphins here and we had to record new births and monitor the babies. In the evenings, we sat on the porch and listened to the sounds of the jungle. Then, we went to sleep in hammocks! It was so relaxing!”

Cross River Gorilla

Ryan has just spent 6 months in a tent tracking these gorillas in the rainforests of Cameroon after he saw a documentary about them. He says, “I was very shocked when I heard there are only 300 of these gorillas left because of hunting and deforestation that has destroyed their habitat. Every day, we walked for miles up steep slopes in the rainforest. Our guide was a poacher in the past who hunted the gorillas for their meat! I was so excited when we saw our first gorilla. We recorded lots of information about its location and activities. We also talked to locals and suggested alternatives to cutting down forests for farming. This was the most interesting – and challenging – experience of my life!”

Loggerhead Sea Turtle

Mary has just come back from the Greek island of Zakynthos after helping with a turtle conservation project there. She says, “Every summer, thousands of females return to lay their eggs in the sand on the beach. The problem is that tourists often damage their nests by accident. They also leave rubbish like plastic bags that the turtles mistake for food. Every day at dawn, our team did a survey of nests and eggs. It was tiring but we saw some spectacular sunrises! During the day, we patrolled the beach and told tourists all about the turtles. I’ve already told my friends that I’m going back next year – and that they’re coming with me!”
