I Knew I was a Conservationist When....
I was 6 years old and I conned my Dad into letting me stay up an hour past my
bedtime so I could watch “Nature” on TV with him. Then I started daydreaming and

update from Terence on his work with Wildlife Clubs of Seychelles
(An update from Terence Vel, November 2009): I am taking some of my annual leave but have decided to change job after my annual leave I will be doing some work with Wildlife Clubs of Seychelles.
The Wildlife Clubs of Seychelles (WCS) is a non-government organisation (NGO) for young people. It was formed in 1994, dedicated to promoting conservation action through environmental education. Today there are about 800 children throughout Seychelles who belong to Wildlife Clubs and who are members of WCS. Wildlife Clubs of Seychelles is run by volunteers. Most of the clubs are led by teachers and staff, as well as some parents and community volunteers. They meet after school, on weekends and during school holidays. Its mission statement is that ’Wildlife Clubs of Seychelles will be a leading, grassroots, self-sustaining environmental organisation, dedicated to creating an environmentally conscious population in Seychelles.

Great pictures from the current follow-up phase of BNNR Pride campaign
These are pictures submitted by current campaign manager Luo Dan. The original Pride campaign was completed in 2005 by campaign manager Zhang Zhe, through JGI China/Roots & Shoots Chengu office. After the campaign, R&S continued working on the campaign follow-up on their own, sustaining the campaign messages of the importance of conserving the BNNR reserve with goals to increase awareness and increase participation in Pride campaign conservation activities. In 2008, the BNNR follow-up Pride campaign received a 6-month grant from the pilot Rare Alumni Fund, a small grants program meant to sustain and expand the conservation impact of successful Pride campaigns. The grant helped to pay for environmental awareness surveys, teacher trainings, and other campaign materials and travel costs. For more information about the results of this follow-up campaign, please find the blog on this campaign page entitled "Follow-up Campaign Report."
