## Choose your contribution

Education, translation, administration, design, supporter outreach, and habitat work can be as valuable as direct care. Prepare a short offer stating your skills, time, languages, and location.

## Check the role and supervision

Ask about duties, training, supervision, costs, and safety arrangements. Avoid programmes whose main attraction is close contact with wildlife.

## Apply through the organisation

WWF-Indonesia says volunteering opportunities are announced periodically. Cikananga also distinguishes volunteering and internships; do not assume applications are always open.

## Leave something useful

Agree on a useful handover, such as approved educational material or work documentation. Respect data confidentiality, sensitive locations, and photography permissions.
