Hello Everyone! Hope everyone is having a good Holiday Season!!! I finished up my last week on Round Island last week!! We have spent a lot of time doing plant monitoring all over the island to tally up the native plants that have been planted over the last 10 years!! Last week the Reptile team came over, as well as the very anticipated Tortoise relocation!! This meant a big influx of people to the island and to make some room I returned to the mainland a bit early. Leaving the Island was very awe inspiring, because this time we got to take the Helicopter! This was my first time ever in a Helicopter, and by the time I landed I was convinced I wanted to be a pilot! Ha, ha.
On my way back to Canada, I got the opportunity to spend a couple nights in London, UK. I used this time to go to the Natural History Museum, which was AMAZING! It was neat to see the life-sized Dodo and the models of the Tortoises!! I spent most of the day walking around looking at models of things that they had in Mauritius, and feeling completely grateful that I got to work with the real deal! Many people would only have the chance to see these things in Museums and on television! It really made it sink in that much more what an incredible opportunity I have been given with the New Noah Program. Ok, well I am getting all nostalgic so I will say bye for now before I start getting too sappy :)
Please check back for some pictures to be loaded on my next posts!
Thank you everyone for following me on my adventure and to Wildlife Preservation Canada for everything! This experience has changed my life and inspired me so many ways! I am ready to bring what I have learned back home and start helping species in Canada!!!
