Hello fellow conservationists,
Following a busy few days attending World Wildlife Day at the UN HQ in New York with our wonderful delegate Callie Veelenturf, we have returned with some exciting news.
The twenty delegates attending the Youth for Wildlife Conservation Forum and CITES CoP18 in Sri Lanka in May have been announced and you can read all about them and their incredible conservation stories on our brand new website here! Do not worry if you haven't been selected, the forum offers an opportunity for everybody to benefit through live broadcasting of behind the scenes at CITES and professional development resources available throughout the event and for our network to access in the future 💪

Hello, I am Callie, from the United States. A 26 year old marine conservation biologist that is profoundly passionate about conservation research, particularly the leatherback sea turtle.

For my master’s research on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, I studied the impacts of climate change on the reproductive success of leatherback and green sea turtles. Our research team camped in tents for five months in the jungle adjoining the sea turtle nesting habitat. But turtles here are threatened by poaching, for their meat and also for their eggs, which are collected and sold in local markets sometimes as a delicacy. On Bioko Island I walked the beaches every night for five months, acting as a passive protection for nesting sea turtles against poachers.
