45. In Conclusion
• This project was an incredible experience
that both heightened my awareness for my
natural surroundings, but also implored me
with the importance of conserving the
habitat of so many beautiful plants and
animals
• Although my camera died during the last
leg of my journey, I was still able to witness
incredible diversity within a desert
community that I will forever remember.
46. In Conclusion
• From this experience, I gained knowledge of plants and
animals, and pushed myself to look beyond normal
appreciation and seek out the subtle beauty of the desert.
• I am so thankful for this project for I now have a new
hobby that I wish to continue no matter what environment
I am in: Wildlife Observation and Conservation.
• I can not wait to begin my activism for the preservation of
natural habitats for plants and animals and I am SO
thankful for this project at it has been my catalyst to
growth and change for my perspective on the future of this
world. Thank you so much for the experience!
