Now more than ever it is important to preserve the natural environment for the multitude of species that call Earth home. On a United Planet Animals and Wildlife Quest, you will care for endangered or mistreated animals and help create an environment where they can feel safe and flourish. Immerse yourself in the rich biodiversity and unique fauna of another country and work with the local community to ensure that these animals and their offspring are still around for generations to come.
United Planet Quests are designed to be immersive, authentic, comprehensive and provide you everything you’ll need to succeed. The program elements allow you to engage fully with a new culture, forge strong relationships, and challenge yourself. Most importantly, we partner with the community to ensure your experience will be important, relevant and helpful to the community you serve.
