Recommendations for working with animals
– Remember that all activities are necessary for the welfare of the animals and the rescue center. In addition, the more involved you become in your work, the more responsibility you will be assigned once you have reached a certain level of trust with the turtles and workers.
– Please check with your local doctor about any vaccinations you may need before traveling to Ecuador, however, rabies and tetanus vaccinations are recommended.
This project is for animal lovers who are not afraid to get their hands dirty!
