Elephant reserve Country:Thailand This is a working vacation at a wildlife centre.Anyone can become a volunteer if he/she agrees to help the elephant keepers with tasks. Daily tasks Gather the elephants at 6:30 am.Take them to look for food in the forest.Clean the enclosure(圍場).Swim with the elephants in the lake in the afternoon.If volunteers want to relax after work,they can watch satellite television. How this vacation helps If these elephants hadn't been rescued,they would still be living on the streets of Bangkok.The rural environment is much better for them than the urban environment where there is lots of pollution. |
Gorilla safari(旅行) Countries:Kenya,Rwanda and Uganda Departures(出發(fā)):2-3 departures per month from Aug.to Dec. If you're lucky,you'll see lions.elephants and rhinos during this safari.The highlight of the trip is the opportunity to see gorillas in the mountain forests.However,you must be in good health-if a gorilla caught a cold,it would be extremely harmful to its whole family. How this vacation helps There are only about 600 gorillas left in the world as human activity has reduced the area where they can live.When you buy a ticket,this will pay for the protection of the national park. |
Polar bear watching Area & Country:Arctic.Canada Departures:sixty trips between Oct.1-Nov.19. Every October and November groups of polar bears gather in Hudson Bay.As they are normally lonely creatures,this is not usual.The bears wait for the ocean to freeze so that they can hunt for seals,so this is the perfect opportunity to see them. How this vacation helps If the Arctic ice cap melts due to global warming,polar bears will be in danger.We give a share of our profits to the charity that protects polar bears. |
