Conserving and communicating on my own terms: My empowering (and muddy) summer as an EarthLab intern
By McKenna Sweet
Conservation Science Intern, Summer 2024
I want to go into wildlife conservation.
This is something I’ve known since my sophomore year of high school after watching an episode of Planet Earth II that highlighted the endangered Indri lemurs, who are endemic to Madagascar. This is also something I tell people when they ask what my majors are and what I want to do after I graduate.
