‘GREEN’ HOLIDAY
Goa is a natural paradise which offers travellers who need a break from city life
an opportunity to experience nature at its
best. If you want to
combine a holiday with conservation work, this is
the ideal place to go
to. I spent two weeks at
a nature conservation centre in Goa
and it was one of
the best holidays I've ever been on.
The conservation centre, which serves as a field
station for biologists and ecologists, was set up so
that they can do research
and check the development of various plants
and wildlife. In addition, the centre tries
to make the local communities
in the region aware of environmental issues. There are also volunteers
at the centre who help
with various conservation activities in the area. After a two-day training course, I started working with the team
responsible for the conservation of sea turtles.
My role was to collect
data on the turtles and
also to talk to people
in the local community about things they can do
to help protect the turtles.
I spent most of my days
walking up and down the
beaches observing and writing down
everything I noticed about the turtles.
At sunset, I would eat dinner
with the other team members
and enjoy the beautiful scenery. In my free
time, I went swimming in the
sea and I also went on
organised nature walks into the
jungle. This was a truly amazing
experience as I got to see
all kinds of interesting wildlife up close.
However, the best thing was
visiting the waterfalls; they were simply wonderful.
I also took a yoga class which
was offered at the centre.
