Earlier this year we were happy to host our first interns. Over several weeks they helped to develop and design the Conservation Leadership Programme on behalf of the Duavata Sustainable Tourism Collective. This programme is now underway with a first cohort of young people on Vanua Levu. One of the final tasks the interns undertook was to write a piece on their relationship to and experiences of Fiji's unique natural environment. We're proud to be able to publish the words of these talented young people here.
