I must be able to communicate with the locals and learn more about their culture and way of life. I would like to get their point of view as we go through national parks and learn more about the history of the land and the rich biodiversity of the island.
My Living Environment class will be exposed to evolutionary concepts and biodiversity concepts which include endemic species located in madagascar. I would also like to tie in human impact on the environment in regards to agriculture and clearing endemic trees such as the Baobab Tree
I will keep a journal. I am extending my stay in Africa to visit the Origin of Humankind to learn more about our evolutionary history.
