My name is Emile, I am a 23-years-old French expat studying animal behavior in Utrecht, Netherlands. I was given the opportunity to conduct an internship with Bring The Elephant Home in January 2021 to make a community workbook to be used in Thailand. After these six months, I can assert that rarely have I been welcomed so warmly, as well as encouraged to develop and discuss my ideas in such a positive working environment.<\/p><p>The combination of communication, conservation, and science is at the ideological crossroad that I find the most compelling and where I feel myself to be most suited. Not only have I acquired vital knowledge and practices in Science Communication, but I also had the opportunity to exercise these skills in making a product that will be used for helping to solve real-world issues linked to conservation practices. I had the feeling of developing something useful, practical, and applicable that connects people, knowledge, and nature. I think it is a formidable thing to find purpose in one\u2019s work, it is enriching, professionally fulfilling, empowering, and motivating. Having had the opportunity to thrive in this setting for a few months was a determining experience that confirmed my will to continue working in such an environment and for similar projects.\u201d<\/p><p>Emile Bryon<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"994\" src=\"https:\/\/bteh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/248\/2021\/08\/0dac1e40-emile-1024x994.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bteh.org\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/248\/2021\/08\/0dac1e40-emile-1024x994.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bteh.org\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/248\/2021\/08\/0dac1e40-emile-300x291.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bteh.org\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/248\/2021\/08\/0dac1e40-emile-768x745.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bteh.org\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/248\/2021\/08\/0dac1e40-emile-1536x1491.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bteh.org\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/248\/2021\/08\/0dac1e40-emile.jpg 1893w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHi!
