Conservation Questions
Hi,
We're a new not-for-profit website that aim to provide a platform for travellers to share their stories from all around the world.
One of our writers, Kat, is a Conservation Biologist who is working in the Seychelles, and we know that this is an enviable position to be in, and many people are trying to get into this line of work.
This is why we are running a Q&A with Kat over the next few weeks for anyone who is hoping to get into this line of work.

Hi there!
I have just finished a new blog entry in regards to exciting holiday animal encounters. I have got my personal top ten, but I wanted to know if any of you have any further suggestions!
Any input would be much appreciated. I am not looking for zoo recommendations, but rather first hand animal encounters that you can experience in the wild.
Here's the blog! Any help would be much appreciated.

Birding in Africa, Best country for...
I've just heard about what seems to be a reasonably priced and productive birding trip to The Gambia, but this started me thinking about whether it would be the best choice of African countries for seeing most/best birds. Or, if others are better, what is the best place for birding in Africa?
Thanks folks!
X-posted in the Africa branch a couple of days ago. I've received some good responses, but realized that members on this branch might elicit a few more, and members on this branch might want to look at other thread as well.

Spring 2013 Birding Festivals Throughout The USA
http://www.allaboutbirds.org/birdingfestivals which is sponsored by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, includes the 2013 Spring migration calendar of most Birding Festivals throughout the USA, starting in Florida this month, including Cape May, Acadia National Park, Arcata, Stikine River, Tongass National Forest, and Kachemak Bay, Homer, Alaska.

cactus as big as tree
What is the type of cactus that grows as big as a tree? They grow in the shape of a tree as well.
I saw two of them on Cyprus.
Wild and nature in Bosnia
I am not sure if someone already wrote something about it, but I would like to recomand some places to visit in Bosnia, especially for those who like pure and nature sceneries.
Whole country is in fact a big national park, and if you just go few kilometres from any main road, you will experience beauty of the countryside. If you are photographer, a lot of amazing things waiting for you.
Some of them you can check on my blog but the best solution is to check some destination by yourself.
My recomandations are mountain lake Prokosko, old town Pocitelj, Jajce town with lake, Bjelasnica mountain and Hutovo lake (birds preserve)
