A ‘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.
