Forest / Wildlife Internships

What is a Forest / Wildlife Internship?

This internship places you in forested or wildlife habitats where you contribute to conservation-relevant research. You learn to record nature systematically — flora, fauna, and the spaces they share — using the same methods conservation biologists rely on.

What you will do

• Conduct line-transect, quadrat, and point-count surveys for fauna and flora
• Use camera traps, audio recorders, and field guides to monitor wildlife
• Map habitats and species occurrences using GPS and basic GIS tools
• Identify common species by morphology, call, or signs (scat, tracks, scrapes)
• Compile field observations into a conservation-aligned report

Who this is for

Students of zoology, botany, forestry, wildlife biology, environmental science, and ecology with genuine interest in biodiversity work. Comfort with outdoor and remote-area work is essential.

What you take away

• NTHRYS internship certificate detailing field-work and species worked with
• Hands-on familiarity with conservation field methodology
• A research-grade project report rooted in primary observations
• A meaningful starting profile for wildlife / conservation career paths
