Presentation Day (Dec. 18, 2019)
Woke up again this morning to see the sunrise,
This time there was a team of us to watch it and on a much clearer day, Myself, Aldwin, Luke, Jacob, Jameson, Nichole and Rachel all went up to lookout tower. We definitely did some more bonding as we knew the days were being counted down till we all came home. It felt we were all there for another that morning more so in support of Lucas lol, we got to see him deploy the drone that he seemed pro at right away, he was so nervous but we all encourage him and think just trying to watch him land the drone on the tower was the most nervous feeling. But he did it and we all went in together to celebrate his landing by saying NASA on the count of 3 and throwing our hands up.
Juan and I did the last few touches on our poster he decided that we needed to include two more graphs onto our poster to emphasize the data of forest types in there as well. I was a little worried because I didn't want too much going on in out poster but turned out like that was what was missing to complete the poster. It looked really good and flowed perfectly. We decided to go with our 2nd outline of the poster to be different than the example that was given to us. Was able to get some pictures and videos together to show everyone what a detection of animal looked like when the trail cams were triggered.
I didn't go to lunch although i was very hungry but since we submitted our presentation right at the deadline of 11am I wanted to use that time to practice how I was going to present. I didn't want mine, Juan's and Indigenous peoples hard work go to waste if I didn't present to emphasize what this project meant and what it can do. I was still nervous, we came up 2nd to present and honestly I felt pretty great about it. I didn't feel like I winged it but it all came out naturally, the outline made it easier to make the connections of information, data and graphs and explain what all of it means and the purpose of our project. Indigenous Knowledge Guiding Wildlife Monitoring in Las Cruces Biological Station , This was our title and the conclusion ended up being that there was more animal activity in the primary forest where there were more species caught in the primary forest than the secondary forest, and could be driven by their movement from disturbed trails, going towards more food resources in the primary forest and finding refuge. I also said that by using the traditional knowledge of the Indigenous people it proves that from generations of passed down traditions their technique of looking for signs of animal activity on their wildlife trails is a successful way of getting a population count and amounts of different species that cross them. We found half the results of what it took an 8 week project to do in only four days. Juan and I were very proud of our project.
Later this night we went out searching for different species of frogs. Which was a success, we found many cool frogs with Juan.
