I am currently in my second year, studying Law with Hispanic Law at UCL. I am also the Assistant Campaigns Officer in the UCL Vegetarian and Vegan Society, working to raise awareness of, and reduce, the damage caused by the production and consumption of animal products.
Curieuse Island is home to critically endangered tortoises, the unique and endemic Coco de Mer palm tree and many other beautiful animals. These animals need volunteers to work to conserve their natural habitat from human intervention, ensuring that they will be around for future generations to enjoy. The work essentially involves undoing the damage already inflicted on the environment by previous human action. It is varied, but a typical week will involve carrying out surveys on the environment, such as salination tests, as well as direct interaction with the animals (the tortoises are known to wander into camp!).
I care about this project because I have recently been made acutely aware, in a way I never was before, of the hugely damaging impact humans are having on the Earth, to the point where we are literally unable to reverse our harm. I however believe that we can limit and minimise the harm done, or we can at least try. I have always been an animal lover, so I would like to have a chance to make a direct impact and actively help conserve the natural beauty of the Earth.
I am asking for support in raising the money for this project because the programme itself costs £1450, which does not include flights (around £950), accommodation before and after the programme whilst waiting for my flight/transfer to the island, or food whilst off base. I will be running various fundraising campaigns on campus at my university, but please contact me if you have a dog that needs walking or are in need of a babysitter one night - anything helps! Alternatively, if you'd just like to donate, I will be extremely grateful.
Rest assured I will come back with many amazing photos!
