Where can biologists practice

The uniqueness of biological internships is the ability to work in real environment in a team of experienced scientists and researchers. These programs take place not in laboratories or classrooms, but in natural  landscapes that vary by the program:

  • internships focused on plants study always take place in national parks where you deal with rare species of flora: not only personally look at unique plants, but also conduct a comparative analysis and track the dynamics;
  • animals-focused programs are held both on land and in sea that gives you a chance to see the species listed in the Red Book and help with their conservation; for example, you can work with turtles, whales and dolphins, bears or rhinos - each internship defines its own object for study; such animals live in a protected area, and as a part of groups of scientists you can keep the maximum allowed distance, which is usually inaccessible to ordinary tourists;
  • program aimed at protection of the environment - the study of soil, water, minerals and climate in different unique parts of the planet.

Requirements for participation in the biological internship

Biological internships are one of the most available for participation. There are very few requirements:

  • good English level;
  • age from 18;
  • desire to explore unique parts of the planet.

Cost of participation in a biological internship

Usually the cost of internship programs in biology is 500 - 1500 USD; they can last from 1 month. The price includes accommodation in apartments for interns, access to the protected area, permission to work with unique species of flora and fauna. In some cases, meals can also be provided. You need to specify them for each program.

Salary for internships in biology

Usually environmental programs are carried out on a volunteer basis that means they are unpaid. Animals definitely cannot pay for helping them, so the state support all the scientific research.

Sometimes there are programs with scholarships, but the number of places is very limited.
