You could try volunteering with MCS or one of those volunteering trips abroad.

I managed to get some work experience at Sealife Chessington. Try to get an email address of the manager and tell them about your interest etc. if you live near the coast, there will be conservation organisations. I also did a few days with a turtle rescue organisation on holiday.
