New boots

Went shopping yesterday and got some hiking boots for my trip. After trying on countless pairs I think I made the right choice, and they were surprisingly not the most expensive pair I tried on! Now to wear them in ..


Booking my flights next week, exciting!

Intro and Fundraising!

The Project is run by Frontier, a Non Profit NGO which has been working for the last 20 years on running various conservation projects in Madagascar, Tanzania, Nicaragua, Cambodia and Fiji This programme aims to collect important scientific data on the ecology of different game national parks, and ultimately produce management plans and develop conservation areas for threatened habitats. Frontier conservation programmes are dedicated to the conservation of valuable and threatened wildlife and habitats. Frontier works by initiating and implementing biological, social and economic research programmes in tropical countries. Programmes are developed and operated in partnership with host country institutions and provide important training opportunities for host country students, resource managers and technical of officers. This project will help me develop research skills and life experience in managing and looking after endangered wild animals in Africa. 

In order to do this, I need to fundraise £2000 for Frontier. The money goes towards running the project, researching and developing new projects, building partnerships with developing country NGOs and highlighting threats to endangered wildlife and habitats. I'll keep you posted on my fundraising events
