Conservation & Biodiversity Internship

Job description

We are offering an exciting opportunity for voluntary interns to help out at the Frontier London Headquarters throughout the year. Frontier internships are a great opportunity to see how a non-profit conservation organisation works, gain hands on practical skills & work experience, and be around as and when new posts arise in the field and in the office.

We have openings at our London HQ for Conservation & Biodiversity Interns to gain experience in the development of tropical research programmes, the identification of funding and work opportunities, co-ordination of proposal submission, and collating and analysing collected by volunteers and staff on our Frontier conservation projects overseas.
