Once in a life time experience

It was a very challenging 3 weeks but the beauty of the areas in Indonesia that we got to experience where full of life and where beautiful and truly something worth supporting and helping to protect. The week that we spent in the Rainforest was very naturalistic with all the necessities allowing us to using the river to bath and having very limited contact to the outside world allowing us to full indulge ourselves in the surroundings and the activities that we were offered which included canopy access, several surveys and lectures. The remoteness of the camp really gave us the chance to stay concentrated on the volunteering and allowed us to get to know the scientists and guides very well, they were all very interesting, encouraging and passionate about there areas that they were there researching and it was very nice to see what amazing work they had done around the world. I think it is very much worth the money that we spent on the trip as the research that we were doing was going towards the fund which was allowing people to collect data and study there certain species which was working towards getting the area added to the REDD+ areas which helps to protect it further from degradation. The week in on Hoga island was magical as it was in the middle of nowhere which was really exciting. We spent the week doing a reef ecology course learning about all there different marine sites and the marine life they have in the area as well as human impacts on the reef. The diving was phenomenal from massive shawls of fish to amazing nudibranchs and sea kraits which we also had lectures on to allow us to understand more about what we were seeing which was really useful as i found it lovely to know what i was looking at and understand what they do. Overall it was one of the most amazing trips i have ever been on and hope to work with them soon again.
