Hello turtle blog! I am excited to share that I am attending the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle network (WIDECAST) conference in Trinidad! I received a grant to attend and I am excited to absorb as much information as I can while I am here. I am also presenting on my experience with social media's impact on sea turtle conservation and education. Today is the start of the conference but not until this evening. I was asked if I wanted to join a hike today and of course I said yes! It was a beautiful hike to Turure, an adventure through the river to natural giant "steps" that are quite amazing to see. I took several photos and have shared them below. The next few days will involve presentations, workshops and fun outings to other hikes in Trinidad. I am excited to see a small piece of this country and enjoy this sunshine.

It feels great when you are invited for a event or conference where you see your interest at! I am sure that you had a lot of fun and gather a lot of knowledge in Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle network (WIDECAST) conference! Last year's topic was about social media's impact on sea turtle conservation and education. We are all user of social media applications, and it's about time we make use of this matter. Instead of scrolling up an down and sharing memes to your friends, it would be more ideal to participate in a movement like this that can save animals around the world! Leave a Reply. |
