People with a university background in biology / zoology or a good cook needed in Sri lanka
Country: Sri Lanka
Description
The central idea of our jungle place is living close to nature with a minimal infrastructure and huts made from natural materials found at the place. ’Just enough facilities to make life reasonably comfortable – no more’. Out of this concept of minimalism comes a lodge bang in the middle of the jungle with nature kept extremely in focus. The principle of low impact is implemented through these ideas. A characteristic feature of the area is the socalled ’human-elephant’ conflict – the violent clash between villagers and elephants raiding cultivated plots. This problem which is the main threat to the endangered Asian elephant is due to deforestration and habitat fragmentation. We frequently get reports of a village house that was smashed by an elephant, they always push down walls to kitchens as they are looking for vegetables, rice grains, or salt.

Work
We need scientific assistance. People with a university background in biology / zoology. We are hoping to preserve our area as elephant habitat connected to Yala National Park. Persons who can help with developing this kind of a project would be of great help.
We are going to refurnish the lodge, this will take time and it means for the time being we cannot accommodate anybody ( but please ask).
More long term it would be interesting to hear from good cooks who can help with inspiration and invent fusions between our local style curry kitchen and what the cook get of ideas. We make mainly vegetarian.
