Last week we had a hotel client come visit the centre and
her enthusiasm for the work we’ve achieved here was very motivating. We
introduced her to each of our patients and then she accompanied us to set the
terrapin traps down in the side-road ponds. It’s encouraging to see how keen
some of the clients are to learn more about the centre’s projects.
Friday we released Pirate into the wild. It was the first
time I assisted in a patient’s discharge so that was a great experience. We put
him down next to the pond we had previously found him in and before you know it
he was gone.
Last week, for the time, we also tried out the new water-quality
test kit (testing for ammonia, acidity, alkalinity, nitrate, nitrite and
general hardness level). We did a try out test in a side-road pond and then
Friday we tested pond 2 and 3.
So my last week here at the centre is finally over. I
recommend anyone who has any interest in learning about amazing endemic and
non-endemic species, plants and the general wildlife of Seychelles to come and
volunteer here at the Wildlife Conservation and Rehabilitation Centre.
