Day 14 (1/19/2020)

Today, we were in the van A LOT, again. But, it felt different because we have presentations tomorrow! The drive consisted of a lot of researching and communicating with team members.

We also learned about the initiative the Royal Family is taking to help save elephants and visited a large farm with a lot of crops. This was the first we saw that had animals, like goats.

Fun fact: pineapples are pink before they’re ripe enough to be sold, which we were able to see on the farm. We also tried sugar cane, which is a favorable treat for elephants.

After, we visited a ranger station that was also tracking elephants to help mitigate human-elephant conflict. They’ve even curated an app where villagers and farmers can report an elephant spotting with details on which way they’re headed, which looked similar to the Citizens app.

We stayed at the Green Beach Resort hotel for the last few days, and this was our last night here before heading to Bangkok.

When we got to the hotel, we were able to do some hanging out, but we knew that we had to get our posters up and ready before the next day.
