  This is a great opportunity to get involved with a small organisation that is growing rapidly. This means that your work has a real impact on the success of the project and you will also be able to contribute to shaping the future of the project. In 2021 we were able to save over 21,000 eggs, which would have otherwise been sold to the market for human consumption. All of these nests were relocated into the safety of our hatcheries where they were monitored until their release While this is an unpaid position, PULIHARA will cover your in-country land travel to/from project site, food, and accommodation while on the project. You will be living in the staff quarters of the resort, sharing a room and toilet with up to four other interns. You will prepare breakfast and lunch yourself, or eat at the staff canteen. We take turns cooking dinner every night. Travel to and from Malaysia is at the expense of the intern.
