Dear all,

Well, it looks like the opportunities to apply to be
volunteers this spring and summer are starting to
multiply... Here's another one with harbour seals in
British Columbia (Canada). If you're intereste contact
the people below.

All the best!
Cristina

 Island Wildlife Natural Care Centre is a registered
not for profit organization operating under permits
from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans,
Environment Canada and the Ministry of Water, Land and
Air. Recipient of the Islands Trust Environmental
Stewardship Award, IWNCC=E2=80=99s focus is on the
escue and rehabilitation of orphaned Harbour Seals.

For the sixth year, IWNCC will be offering summer
internships. In the past,students have earned academic
credit toward their degrees through the completion of
these internships and the centre is also open to the
creation and execution of short term, noninvasive
research projects by the interns. To date no
publications are available.
 
Besides constantly seeking improved methods for seal
rehabilitation, Island Wildlife actively researches
and practices alternative medical treatments such as
homeopathy, herbal treatments and physical therapies.
Numerous articles have been published in various
homeopathic journals including the Journal of the
American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association.

There will be twelve staggered internships awarded
this summer each lasting eight weeks. The internships
are on a voluntary basis, however comfortable housing
and a food stipend are provided. Interns are accepted
internationally and are responsible for their own
transportation to and from British Columbia.

Interns will work directly under an on site marine
mammal veterinarian and rehabilitation specialists and
can expect to learn the following:

Safe rescue and handling of Harbour Seal pups.
 
Proper restraint techniques.
 
Stabilizing critical patients and new arrivals.
 
Food preparation through all stages of the
rehabilitation process.

Gavage (tube) feeding, force feeding and hand
feeding techniques.
 
Proper hygiene and isolation protocols to prevent
the spread of disease.
 
Administration of oral medications.
 
Behavioral and medical observation and proper record
keeping.
 
Natural history of marine mammal species.
 
Fundamentals of how, why and when to administer
alternative remedies such as homeopathy and Chinese
herbs.

Response to the rescue hotline and public interface
as well as the logistics of coordinating rescues from
many remote locations.

General care of many other indigenous avian and
mammalian species.
 
The deadline for applications is March 15, 2003.
