Background

Fauna Conservation Department conducts Animal Encounter and Discovery Table programmes on Sundays. Participants will experience close encounters with animals while increasing their awareness regarding wildlife conservation and the illegal wildlife trade. Hopefully attendees will take away with them a greater respect and appreciation for wildlife and become empowered to lead greener lifestyles and support wildlife conservation work and nature preservation.

What we have

Lunch and travel allowance, receive a certificate of recognition after 8 days of service over the first 12 months, become a KFBG Member (Individual Membership) for 1 year

Why this is important
