We also vistied South Luangwa National Park in Zambia and learned from Conservation South Luangwa about their efforts to protect the wildlife and reduce poaching and snaring in the park.

I was co-organized a trip to Vancouver Island with the start-up organization One Species. This involved recruiting ambassadors to join us on a kayaking trip around Vancouver Island and learn about the Southern Resident Killer Whales which are species at the brink of extinction.

I designed and co-lead a trip with both International students and domestic Canadian students on a " Canadiana Road Trip" where students camped, snorkeled and hiked. It was a welcome trip to a newly arrived group of International students to connect with one another and with canadian culture.
