Bird migration has fascinated humans for a long time. I have not been the exception when I had the opportunity to witness shorebirds taking off in their northern migrating from Roebuck Bay, North-western Australia. With a background in Biology and Environmental Science, I joined the EAAFP secretariat as a policy intern in an attempt to better understand policies surrounding migratory shorebird conservation and how they can be used more effectively. I am originally from Colombia but have been living in Australia for some years now. It is my first time in the Republic of Korea and I am very excited about the birding opportunities alongside my internship duties. Read an article by Eduardo about internship: here.
