What are some personal experiences you've had while volunteering in conservation?

I've had several rewarding experiences! One memorable moment was when I helped with a sea turtle nesting project. We monitored nests and ensured the hatchlings made it safely to the ocean.

That sounds amazing! What challenges did you face during that project?

One challenge was dealing with unpredictable weather. Storms could wash away nests, so we had to be vigilant and sometimes relocate them to safer areas.

How did you feel after successfully helping the hatchlings?

It was incredibly fulfilling! Watching them make their way to the ocean felt like a small victory for conservation. It reminded me of the impact we can have.

What advice would you give to someone considering conservation volunteering?

I would say to choose a project that resonates with you and be prepared for hard work. The experience is rewarding, but it can be physically demanding.
