The work of the volunteers is focused on environmental issues as well as on the care and protection of animals. The activities may vary according to the needs generated in the program. Volunteers may perform daily routines such as:
+Animal care.
+Maintenance and cleaning of enclosures.
+Providing the welfare of the animals and learning to handle them while avoiding their domestication, so that they can be successfully reintroduced to nature.
+Daily feeding of animals (Twice a day). For the feeding of the most dangerous animals, volunteers will be accompanied by the staff in charge of the center.
+Cleaning of green areas.
+Support in environmental enrichment programs.
+Planting trees.
