Come over and lend a helping hand in our non-profit unusual animal sanctuary（动物保护区）and educational facility in Sunny Florida! We are devoted to the lifetime care of deserted, retired, abused or otherwise homeless exotic（奇异的）animals to prevent them from being destroyed.

The animals that come here for sanctuary are given permanent homes. They are not sold, transferred, given away or bred ; they’ are simply here to be protected from harm. Great care is given to the animals to ensure that their medical, nutritional, and emotional needs are met on a daily basis. With the help from our supporters, we are able to provide permanent habitats for these animals on our 36-hectare compound.

You live in camping facilities at the sanctuary. Hot showers and laundry facilities are at your disposal. Facilities to relax after working hours are available.

Food, mostly home cooked, is included in the fee.Special arrangements, such as vegetarian food can be made.

What makes your stay here most important is that you will learn a lot about the knowledge and experience it takes to care for the different species at the sanctuary. You will also learn how to work around the animals without risk of being hurt as some of the animals are wild and need special handling and caution when working close by.

You must be in good physical condition and be able to bear heat.

You must be able to speak or at least understand English.You must be aged 18 or older. You must be available for at least two weeks.

The desire for a better life is sometimes so big that it makes people leave their countries and their families and work in other countries. They know that they will have to face difficult moments，that they won’t be able to communicate with the persons around them，and that maybe they will have to work in illegal conditions to get the money they need for their families，but they all take these chances and they hope they will succeed.
On the other hand，there are people who immigrate(移民)just for the sake of the people they love. They leave their families to make other families with the people they love. Women go to meet their men who have chosen other countries to start a new life，even if they miss their families and friends. Maybe they don’t have a place to work but they are able to wait to see what destiny(命运) has for them.
There are also the cases of the people who are forced to leave their countries because of a war which threatens their lives. They’d rather start from the very beginning again than risk putting their lives in danger.
When well­developed countries see that their homeland is being “invaded” by lots of immigrants，they set new laws that make immigration harder. As a result of this，many illegal immigrants cross the borders and are eager to work，although they are paid only half the amount of money native workers receive for the same kind of job.
The opinions of the local people are varied and they range from total refusal to complete acceptance. Immigrants in countries which have large communities of them are fighting for the recognition of their social rights and for equal treatment.
Many immigrants have managed to be fully accepted by the communities where they live and have managed to change the opinions of the local people about them.

 [1] While the Amazon may seem far away, we are all closely connected to it through our actions. Now there are largely the results of great demand for forest products and agriculture land, which makes its plant and animal species in danger. Fortunately, we can help save the Amazon rainforest by making the right choices in our daily lives. By being smart consumers, we can make a difference and help reduce human pressures on the forests and rivers.

[2] Look for forestt products that you don ’ t need to destroy forests to get. We can choose many rainforest products like Brazil nuts and coffee, which can be got without destroying forests. And at the same time the money you provide can help local people to _______________.

[3] Recycle everything possible. Such items as batteries, cloth, glass, paper in our daily life can be recycled with different techniques. For example, the collected glass pieces are taken to a glass recycling factory where they are madeinto new glass bottles through a series of processing.

[4] Buy the rightpets. Many wild animals are illegally caught in the Amazon and sold as pets and large numbers of these animals die in the process. It ’ s important to ask where the animal comes from and to require a store to give you proof when you decide to buy a pet.

[5] Carefully select the appliances( 家用电器 ) in your home . For example, order low-flow shower heads ( 喷头 ),which can reduce your use of hot water and use of energy to heat the water. So it ’ s wise to select the appliances which can save energy.
