During the first week came Pirate and into my second week of
volunteering we came across the 8th individual of yellow-bellied mud
terrapins found in the wetland. Rachel’s reaction summed up the excitement of
this new arrival! We brought her back to the centre to measure, weigh and take
her identity photo.

I’ve been able to set insect traps as part of the monitoring
process of the general wetland habitat. Although this time we had used honey as
our insect-bate so the process ended up being quite messy!
On Wednesday I attended the weekly management cocktail and
assisted Rachel in approaching hotel clients. It was satisfying to see that a
few people were interested in the work that the centre has accomplished and is
trying to achieve. I believe it is a great
aspect of the centre’s project to raise awareness of the critically endangered
species amongst the clients and staff and teach them different ways they can
contribute in protecting them.
Next week Rachel will be occupied in a workshop so I will
have the pleasure to work with Vanessa. Looking
forward to a new week here at the centre!
