Field Assistants

Local Knowledge. Stewardship. Empowerment.

Field assistants are primarily recruited from local communities, recognising their deep knowledge of the landscape and its forests. By engaging community members directly in conservation work, HYTICOS supports local empowerment, strengthens stewardship of natural resources, and builds long-term capacity for protecting forests and wildlife.

Our Dedicated Volunteers

Volunteers are an important part of HYTICOS’s conservation journey. From assisting in awareness programmes and citizen science initiatives to supporting events, outreach, and documentation, volunteers help extend the reach and impact of our work.

Through their enthusiasm, skills, and commitment to nature, volunteers contribute to building a stronger conservation community. HYTICOS welcomes individuals who are passionate about wildlife, ecology, and environmental stewardship to join us in protecting the natural heritage of the twin states.
