Farewells, welcomes and circus circus preparations!
We have come to the end of another phase
and have had to say goodbye to our two favourite Swedes, Jessica and Jenny. We
have now welcomed onto base 3 new volunteers; James, Chris and Ryan.
It has been a busy week with people out
doing practice monitors on both coral and fish. We have also had more Jaguar
sightings, Willem spotted an adult and two cubs on the drive back from town so
CONANP (government environmental body) have arrived on base and set up camera
traps to hopefully catch images of any that are moving around the base at
night. So far, these cameras have only taken pictures of volunteers doing
duties around base but hopefully we shall have evidence of them soon!
We have also agreed to do a circus in Punta
Allen for the children – and for any adults who care to come along. Those that
are particularly good at circus skills, acrobatics or performing magic tricks
are setting up acts to entertain the children, whilst other people are making
costumes and props for the day. The most ambitious project so far being a paper
mache octopus with fully moving arms!
