Q & A
Isabelle Bujold
- Hometown:
- Sherbrooke, QB
- What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
- The conservation issue that is closest to my heart would be wildlife and biodiversity preservation.
- What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
- I expect to gain field work experience and expertise. I want to develop practical skills that will help me distinguish myself in the academic and professional world. I would also like to learn from experts in the conservation field.
- Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
- I would say that the long nights of watching Zaboomafoo and The Crocodile Hunter has sparked my fascination for animals. After that, I wanted to protect animal species, and by the same means, their habitat. In order to protect animal species, I needed to protect their home – the Earth!
- If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?
- Jane Goodall. She has been an inspiration as a woman in science and as a conservationist. I would love to hear all about her time in Africa and everything she has accomplished in conservation.
My Experience So Far
Rocky Mountain Way
Stage 1
For their Stage One adventure, “The Mount10eers” will experience a 14-day hiking/backpacking trip through the Alberta Rocky Mountains. Heading deep into the Rockies, being surrounded by rugged peaks, glacier-carved valleys, mountain lakes and alpine meadows will provide great opportunity for reflection. The experience will teach safe and effective mountain travel, backpacking techniques, minimal-impact camping, navigation and compass work, route-finding skills and how to move across scree and snow-slopes. The journey will also provide a solo experience that can be entirely transformative.
