Opportunities to volunteer exist in these areas:

A) Scientific Research Projects. There are over 20 projects here. Examples:
Biodiversity in specific areas (e.g. Wadi AlQuf, Al-Makhrour, Wadi Fukin)
including Field work, research on diverse groups of living things (birds,
mammals, insects, snails, medical plants), and research on geology,
paleontology, and ethnology.

B) Ecosystem structures: Design of living outdoor and animal/plant exhibits
that interactive and not “zoo like” or “garden like”). The main goal is to
recreate a habitat that will allow a growth in number of species and an
equilibrium in the ecosystem created. Here people interested as well as
landscape designers, architects, and others who can contribute are needed.

C) Education/behavioral change: Developing the education system in schools,
to increase the curiosity for the children and the way they are thinking
about the nature around themselves. Developing and training children about
recycling/ up-cycling. And developing SMART science exhibition for students
in the museum.

D)... IT: Building and developing database for the collection and the
researches at the museum in order to have an online library in the future.

E) Fundraising: Grant and proposal writing, holding fundraising events to
try to get donations for the future building, computers, interactive
(touch) screens, projectors etc.

F) Administration: Making partners and relationship between the museum and
other organizations and museums around the world. And making sure that all
tasks well done.

G) Architecture of new building: Designing the new Eco-friendly building
for the museum along with the Pond and cages for birds and butterflies.

F) Media work: Writing stories about the museum and our work including the
volunteers and their research, translate it into many languages and publish
it in the western and eastern media. Making documentaries and animation
movies for the children.

Note: We hold volunteer meetings and workshops regularly and in a beautiful
setting of our botanical garden. We welcome visitors, supporters, and
volunteers.
