Volunteer Rangers
Tanzania

Chumbe Island Coral Park, Zanzibar (Tanzania) is offering three volunteer positions during 2011. Two of the volunteer positions would be to work as Ramadan Rangers for the 2011 Ramadan season and one volunteer position to work as guiding Ranger Trainer for a minimum of 2 months during 2011. The Ramadan Rangers would be expected to arrive on the 28th of July and stay until the 1st of September 2010, while the Ranger Trainer dates are more flexible and would preferably start as early as March or if it overlaps with ramadan be one of the ramadan rangers during Ramadan.

During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan our Zanzibar Rangers are not able to swim/snorkel in the sea during daytime, but they are performing the rest of their daily duties (such as guiding forest walks, intertidal walks,
lighthouse tour and viewing of the coconut crabs). Chumbe Island Coral Park, Ltd (CHICOP) seeks two volunteers to serve as snorkel guides in our healthy coral reef.

The Ramadan ranger positions involves guest relations while guiding the guests at Chumbe's eco-lodge while snorkeling inside the marine park, requiring several hours of in-water each day. The Ramadan Rangers deliver a
professional snorkel briefing with safety information and assist guests with finding appropriate snorkel equipment for their reef excursion. The Rangers lead guests of all swimming levels in the water and follow-up after the
snorkeling session with discussions of interesting and environmental issues incorporating reef guides and other visual materials. The Ramadan Rangers are also expected to share their knowledge to the rangers. The position is
ideal for two friends, a married couple, or a person that can easily work closely with other people.

Requirements for Ramadan Ranger:
* Possess a background in marine science
* Have strong experience in diving/snorkelling (and must be a strong swimmer)
* Training in first aid and CPR
* Fluency in English
* Friendly and easy-going personality to interact with diverse guests
* Adaptable and energetic

The Ranger trainer position involves training of the 5 guiding rangers to improve their skills within guiding as well as in natural science and the 3 patrol rangers to increase their service towards guests. The Ranger trainer will have a vary varied job and will be involved in developing good guiding practices in many different fields such as coral reef auditing, forest auditing, eco-architectural auditing, intertidal auditing as well as coconut crab exploration and light house tours. We are incorporating the modern ideas of Eduction for Sustainable Development not only to the educational visits but also to the guests. Chumbe is privately managed, not for profit and the guest staying in the MPA are paying for the conservation, therefore we see the importance that they should have a better guided experience (learning experience) when visiting Chumbe. With more guest and happier guests we have more money to spend on conservation!

Requirements for Ranger Trainer:
* Possess a background in natural science
* Possess a background in guiding / hospitality with working experience
* Have strong experience in diving/snorkeling (and must be a strong swimmer)
* Training in first aid and CPR

* All daily staff food on Chumbe Island

Please note, we are not able to fund any travel to Zanzibar, but we will gladly arrange for your airport pick-up/ drop-off and provide you with boat transportation from Zanzibar to Chumbe Island.

This is an excellent opportunity to experience the famous Chumbe Island reef sanctuary and to work with a team of local staff members. The uninhabited island has a maximum capacity of 16 overnight guests and hosts numerous rare and endangered terrestrial and marine species. The mission statement for Chumbe Island Coral Park is "To manage, for conservation and educational purposes, the Chumbe Island Reef Sanctuary and the Forest Reserve. This is also supported by eco-tourism activities which are directly related to the non-consumptive uses of the natural resources."
