About this position
Overview: Bird Conservation Volunteering in Bali, Indonesia
Established in 1999, this Animal Conservation Project held the aim to save a really unique and precious bird from the very real threat of extinction: the Bali Starling.

The bird only exists on the islands of Bali and Nusa Penida. This Ubud based conservation center, brings together nature enthusiasts from different spheres of human endeavour under the umbrella of increasing the awareness of starlings conservation.
