Wildlife Rehab Facility Volunteer Position

We are a nonprofit organization authorized by the Belize Forest Department; dedicated to the preservation and safeguarding of Belize’s indigenous wildlife and their vital ecosystems. We operate the sole wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center in Northern Belize’s cayes; with expertise in handling various wildlife species but with a particular focus on the rehabilitation of birds and reptiles. Throughout the year; our team offers 24/7 emergency assistance for injured; sick; orphaned; or displaced wildlife on Ambergris Caye; and when feasible; on our neighboring island; Caye Caulker. Given the rapid expansion of tourism and unchecked habitat loss; every animal we rescue; rehabilitate; and release could have profound significance for its species both today; and in the future. Our team also addresses instances of human-wildlife conflict; notably involving American Crocodiles; and aids residents in identifying sustainable coexistence methods through scientific research; community outreach; and education.

We recommend volunteers stay at a hostel in town where you’ll receive an Aces discount for US$500 per month; and you’ll need another estimated US$250 per month for groceries. Food can be prepared at the hostel or on site at Aces.
