My Nonprofit Reviews

I realized a dream when I went to Sonora and volunteer at the Northern Jaguar Reserve. I helped mostly with habitat restoration (bufflegrass removal and gabion building). It was so rewarding to be part of such a great project and to be in a place where jaguars roam. I spent more than a month in the reserve, discovering a completely new ecosystem for me, seeing an amazing diversity of birds, tracking wild cats. My most memorable sighting was of a bobcat. We sat and watched each other for 40 minutes! Its curiosity finally satiated, the bobcat walked away with unmistakable feline grace and disappeared quickly, as if the earth had swallowed it. Maybe one day I'll see a jaguar! I already think of going back in the near future.
