For internships, research collaborations, photography, ethical wildlife experiences, and other relevant enquiries.
Working together
We consider work-with-us enquiries when they match current needs, available supervision, field capacity, and conservation priorities.
Because the project works in sensitive urban wetland habitats, we cannot accommodate every request for volunteering, photography, field access, internships, or student work. We prioritise enquiries that are ethical, locally relevant, and realistic for a small field team.
Ways to work with us
Structured internships may be considered when there is a clear project need, available supervision, and enough time for meaningful work. Tasks may include field support, camera trap image processing, data organisation, communications, education, or public reporting.
Useful for
Research and student collaborations are considered when they align with current priorities, permits, supervision capacity, and available data.
Useful for
We work with photographers, filmmakers, and visual storytellers who can help document fishing cats, wetland habitats, fieldwork, and public engagement in ethical, low-disturbance ways.
Contributed images may support conservation communication, including website imagery, talks, workshops, awareness programmes, social media posts, and education materials.
Useful for
We work with responsible travel partners, hotels, guides, and local groups on low-impact wetland walks and ethical wildlife excursions that support accurate interpretation, local expertise, and conservation funding.
Useful for
We work with government agencies, local authorities, conservation organisations, businesses, and private landowners on ecological surveys, camera-trap monitoring, wildlife assessments, research, and conservation projects. Tell us a little about your enquiry and we’ll let you know whether we may be able to help.
Useful for
Volunteers help with writing, art and illustration, social media outreach, translation in Sinhala and Tamil, event organisation, and helping at events. Join our volunteer register and we will be in touch when opportunities that match your skills and availability come up.

Interest list
Use the enquiry form on our contact page to tell us what you would like to do and how it could support the project. Submitting the form does not guarantee field access, placement, collaboration, or a response, but it helps us keep track of relevant enquiries.
For sightings or roadkill records, please use the Report a Sighting form instead.
Other ways to help
Sightings, roadkill records, and local observations help identify where fishing cats occur and where attention is needed.
Report a sightingDonations help fund field equipment, monitoring, public reporting, education work, and long-term conservation research.
