Are you a talented and seasoned writer? Are you passionate about wildlife conservation? Do you love digging into wildlife facts and crafting stories about what you've learned? If so, this volunteer opportunity may be for you! New England Primate Conservancy is committed to leaving a legacy of hope and tools to build a better tomorrow for all the Earth's citizens. At NEPC, we strive to make the complex science behind environmental protection, animal protection, and wildlife conservation easy to understand so that the average person can assess, consider, and modify their own impact on the natural world. We pour through science-based publications and "translate" them into language that everyone can embrace. We even succeed at making it fun, when appropriate. We are seeking talented writers for our Primate Species Profiles series, the backbone of our education programs. We find our Primate Species Profiles cited widely throughout the internet by conservation sites, wiki sites, zoos, bloggers, news agencies, magazines, other animal protection and conservation organizations, and more. In addition-and very importantly-they are used by students for their school projects. Nowhere else can one find so many primate species so thoroughly yet concisely profiled in easy-to-understand, non-scientific, non-academic language that everyone can comprehend and enjoy. This is what makes the information that we provide so accessible and so popular. Creative writing and thorough factual research are required. This volunteer position can be accomplished from your home, with email, Zoom, and phone correspondence with the Education Team. If you are a mature writer with a passion for conservation and wildlife protection, this opportunity may be for you.
