In other news, some other interns for State Dept. and USAID arrived. It is great to have some people in my peer group and similar life/work situation. I am enjoying learning from my intelligent, helpful, and dedicated coworkers who have built CARPE into the the top regional environmental program. It's well-spent USG money that should have a great impact on conservation efforts - incorporating people's livelihoods as primary consideration. Without that conservation can be harmful.
