Josy is a naturalist guide for Galapagos National Park and is very active in her local community. In Part 1, we chat about what COVID has done to the islands and how she has been killing time while she waits for tourists return, what it’s like growing up and working in an isolated paradise, and why she decided to open a boutique hotel with her mother on Santa Cruz Island.
In Part 2, we chat about a very interesting citizen science project she recently joined as a team lead called Barcode Galapagos, why the Galapagos Islands are so special and should be on every nature-lovers bucket list, and how we can all do our part to protect and restore nature.
This has me thinking that maybe once the time is right, we should get a group of us from the Rewildology community to go! What do you all think? I’m dying for any excuse to go back and bringing a super fun group of you all with me sounds like a blast.
I’ll let that idea sit and grow. But seriously, if that does sound fun to you, reach out on Instagram or email me at hello@rewildology.com to let me know!
