This past Saturday, I, along with the Loyola group and other international students, had the opportunity to visit the Healesville Sanctuary. Healesville is a conservation effort in Healesville, Victoria, AUS that keeps only Australian wildlife in efforts to preserve and breed their species.
Now, I'm a city girl, and, to be quite honest, I didn't really appreciate nature before. I would always say that being outdoors just wasn't my thing. However, my love for the environment has grown after working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife at their headquarters office these past two summers. FWS actively works on conservation efforts of animals throughout the world, and it's been an awesome experience seeing what all the agency does. So, when I heard that we would have the opportunity to see Australian animals, I was very excited!
