Review Description

Biologists without Borders is dedicated to protecting threatened species and their habitats through scientific research.  Biologists without Borders is a new non-profit organization, with 501 (c) 3 status, that offers a unique approach to conservation needs. We provide professional and aspiring wildlife biologists the opportunity to volunteer their time and expertise to important research projects in Africa. We help match research needs of wildlife reserves with specialists and volunteers who can enable these reserves to achieve their management goals. 

We primarily work in the African countries of South Africa and Sierra Leone and partner with the wildlife reserves in those counties to provide accommodations and support.  Both these countries are considered safe. 

We are looking for university students or other interested parties who are interested in wildlife conservation, biology, environmental science, education, communications, or geographic  information systems. We offer a unique volunteer experience by providing personal involvement with wildlife conservation activities and have a proven record of successful placements.
