Hi Jess,

at the Jaguar Rescue Center ( near Puerto Viejo, Limon, Costa Rica ) they work with volunteers at the center's clinic. The JRC advertises for volunteers on their website, but not for these clinic positions. I don't know if they need volunteers right now but would be happy to ask the head vet ( is that the phrase? ) if you are interested.

cheers

Frank

Thank you so much! I got your message and no worries at all, my internet is also terrible currently so it is taking a while for me to get anything through :) thank you again! I hope you enjoyed your visit there as well!

A warm welcome to our WildHub community, Jess! In which country are you currently?

Some connections that may be useful for you to follow up on are the following members who are (wildlife) vets: @Olivia Walter , @Emily Talkington , @Natalia Rożniewska  and @Simone Vitali Let us know how you get on? Joining the upcoming Member Socials, like Lara mentioned, is indeed a great way to get to know our community and the opportunities that are offered (link to RSVP here).

We also have some resources that you may be interested in: Olivia, who is Executive Director at Wildlife Vets International (WVI) organised a webinar session about "What role does disease play in the conservation of threatened wildlife?" (recording here), which also includes an intro to WVI. Hope these connections and resources will help! 

This is amazing and really helpful, thank you so much!
