In fall 2021, T’Noya Thompson, Global Field Program (GFP) graduate and Earth Expeditions (EE) Community Learning Leader, was awarded a Conservation Nation grant to work on a project with past Dragonfly graduate assistant, Dr. Ancilleno Leno Davis. The project, which focuses on the community, birds, and the environment in Nassau, Bahamas, will merge collaborative efforts between established scientists, organizations, and students to fill important bird species data gaps and foster youth environmental advocacy.

Conservation Nation is an inclusive non-profit wildlife conservation organization that supports and amplifies the work of underrepresented voices in the conservation field.
