One of the ways to actively participate in the conservation of the biological and cultural diversity locally, regionally, or internationally with ECO-SEA is to complete an internship with an ECO-SEA Director or Research Associate. Internships can be completed for academic credit or transcripts notation. Previous interns with ECO-SEA have participated in projects including:

• conservation audits of rare, endangered and endemic plants in botanic garden collections
• field surveys of ethnobotanical knowledge and practices
• studies of Southeast Asian medicinal plants, spices and condiments
• integrated studies of how biological invasions impact on native plant taxa and associated traditions
• literature reviews of Malesian ethnobotanical and taxonomic texts
• ethnobotanical interpretive kits for K-12 education
