Getting to Know a Species

Start with the moment.

An encounter, a place, something unexpected or a question that caught your attention.

Tell the story.

What happened? What did you see or do? What made the experience memorable?

Add context.

Include relevant details about the species, location, conservation work or people involved.

Bring in your photographs.

Let the images support the story rather than simply interrupt it.

Finish with a thought. What stayed with you, what did you learn, or what might another person find interesting?
