understanding of individuals and society. What is next, and why is conservation important to you? I grew up going to national parks, going hiking and spending time outside (which is what led me to environmental studies in the first place). I’ve learned a lot more about what conservation can mean in my time at PLU and how complicated the issues can be, but I still think it’s an incredibly important field, especially as the climate crisis worsens. I would be able to use a lot of my education — obviously

Town). Pueblos Mágicos is the name for a federal program whereby small towns are able to receive federal funding to create tourism programs, especially ecotourism, as a way to provide income to the community (and in some instances, create a stream of tourism that ends up being destructive and detrimental to the community). About two weeks ago, my Biology class had the opportunity to travel there to learn about the town’s unique natural resources management program, called UZACHI. Here is a photo of
