Most people would agree that humans impact on the environment is negative. We seem to take natural resources for ourselves with little thought to how it will effect the other creatures that also live on Earth. My goal in life is to not be this kind of human. My first step to reaching this goal was to volunteer, so I signed up to pick up trash at a local state park. Once I saw the positive effect I was having on this parks environment, I was hooked. Making positive environmental changes became a passion that I have dedicated my life to. Just imagine if every person in America volunteered to make a positive change on a weekly basis? Seriously, think about it.
I know I will want to use my IRP as a reference tool for guests and volunteers when I resume my positon at the park. With that in consideration, most guests are interested in wildlife, and how they can observe/protect certain species. One animal that sparked many questions is the roseate spoonbill. My personal favorite.
Yes folks, the bird literally has a spoon shaped bill. It is awesome. Unfortunately, not many people know about this magnificent pink bird, or they will mistakenly call them "flamingos," especially native Floridians! Flamingos are native to South America, Africa, and India, not North America. Educating people about to this bird species is the first step to protecting it.
Great video! You are rockin' this Blog! Now interested in peaking into that brain of yours and getting a little insight into what you might do for your IRP. :-)
