This is an exceptional gap year project for anyone interested in animal conservation. This Crocodile Centre houses more than 2,500 crocs as well as a number of snakes and amphibians in an area along the Tamil Nadu coast. It runs educational and awareness programmes and works with many schools in the local area and has a well-stocked library for anyone interested in reading up on crocs and snakes.
Your Role: As a gap year volunteer you'll be involved in almost every aspect of the centre's work. So be prepared for some physical work - such as cleaning out croc enclosures. But also you'll help with research projects, the environmental programme's summer camps with local children and as visitor guides
What you Gain: This is a unique opportunity for anyone intending to study conservation, zoology or related disciplines or someone already in those fields wanting to see a project in depth. It's also a great location for exploring Tamil Nadu - you can easily get into Chennai if you fancy a night out or down to Mahaballipuram for a relaxing weekend on the beach.

Having completed my A-Levels, last summer, I was desperate to get away, travel, and explore a new country and to gain some practical field work experience - the Crocodile Conservation project in Chennai was the perfect opportunity for me to do all of this!
