Staff and intern blogs - Rosie
Over the next week or so, I will post a few short bios from staff and interns on the project. A small insight into the types of great people that end up in places like this...
First up one of our interns - meet Rosie!
Hi! I’m Rosie Willmott and I am one of the six month interns
here on the GVI Thai Elephant project in Chiang Mai province, Thailand, and
have recently finished my A-level courses in Art, Photography and Biology. I
took on this internship to experience working with animals in the field
first-hand, as conservation is an area I would like to specialize in. As an
elephant intern I run health checks which are essential to monitor the herd’s
overall well-being. Having never before worked with such large animals it is
fascinating as well as educational to see them in a natural setting. In
addition to working with the elephants on a daily basis I have taken on the
biodiversity study which looks at the variety of flora and fauna that can be
found in and around the village of Huay Pakoot. The ultimate aim of this study
is to produce a small guide that can be used by future volunteers, staff and
other tourists whilst out on hikes.
