I am hoping to raise £4000 to fund a volunteering trip for one month to Fiji to participate in a conservation project that is very focused on the protection and conservation of the 8 species of sharks that inhabit the "Shark Reef" in Fiji as well as an array of other marine life such as sea turtles, sea horses and more. There are beach clean ups, mangrove reforestation and tagging of baby sharks. All this will help with the protection and upkeep of a stunning collection of islands and help preserve it for future generations to enjoy in a world that is seeing the extinction of many animals and plants daily. Projects like this should inspire many other projects like it and I would love to travel to other projects, such as ones in Belize, Thailand, and Cambodia. The cost of the trip covers insurance, diving courses and equipment, scientific equipment to assist in the observations, accommodation and food for the whole month.
