My expedition

Being able to witness what I've only ever seen on the television was amazing. The vast biodiversity of the cloud forest was an unforgettable experience and the knowledge of the scientists and volunteers only helped to further my own knowledge and deepen my interest. A particularly memorable part of the terestrial week was when we went on a point count walk along one of the transects and helped to record all of the species of bird by just their call. Being able to develop this skill was a great opportunity and extremely fun. The same can be said for the marine week also, going out on dives every single day and learning all of the signs for the different species was fantastic. Overall the trip was something I will never forget and has definitely aided my ambition to be a part of a project such as this in the future!
