1. Join Zoo Girl mailing list. This way you will be kept up to date with latest conservation issues via email.
2. Become a volunteer. Many people ask me how do they get a job working with animals. And the answer is simple, you have to prove your keen and the best way to go about that is to volunteer. Not only does volunteering increase your chances of a career with animals, but you are helping the animals as well. A great zoo is Monarto Zoo contact Ngareta Cronin, Volunteers coordinators tours@monartozp.com.au. If Monarto is not in your state look for your local/state zoological park, even a council dog pound is a great start!!!!! Contact me at info@zoogirlclaire.com if you need any assistance.

8. Fundraising…it’s a great way to meet people and a great way for you to know that you can make a difference. Anyone of any age can do this…there are many ways to raise money including raffles, choclate drives, garage sales etc….when you advertise that you are fundraising for a charity people are generally a lot more willing to donate…Give it a go, at the end of the day you can decide like me in Claire4Wildlife what conservation projects you want to support….
