“I simply hope to get a better understanding of the environment around us, the issues and ways of how we can deal with it. The signs of environmental change are all around us. Thus, by attending the 9^th Pacific Island conference on Nature Conservation and Protected Areas, I hope to get a better insight of finding solutions on how Pacific Island countries can cope with the environmental challenges they face.

Especially after doing a Climate Change project for our Television unit this year, I have gained more exposure on the issues around us. As a reporter in training, I hope to gain valuable knowledge about the environment at large, and raise awareness on the importance of conserving nature.“
