Ecofieldtrips also offers work experience opportunities that will give you an unparalleled insight into tropical ecosystems and will allow you to develop skills which are integral to a career in conservation or teaching as well as preparing you for further education. You will have a chance to develop leadership and presentation skills in addition to a wide range of fieldwork skills commonly used in biological and geographical study.

Ishbel Campbell:

“My time with EFT was truly unforgettable! Everyday had yet another adventure in store be it finding rafflesias in Tioman’s rainforest or diving with turtles on the reef. I made some amazing friends, some who I travelled with at the end of my 3 months. But mostly, I was introduced to the very varied, outdoors life as a biologist and I now study Zoology at university as a result.”

Ishbel spent 3 months of her GAP year working with EFT. It has been her dream to be a zoologist since a very early age, and since then she has been involved with many conservation and wildlife projects all around the world, the most recent of which was in Kenya. She now studies zoology at Newcastle University in the UK.
