EFTA's 3 year study examining the barriers to participation in science education by Latino audiences will focus on increasing Latino participation at six IMBD and nature festivals across the U.S. Much of the outreach to Latino communities located near our study sites is conducted by NPS Park Flight Migratory Bird Program International interns.

Over 80 applications for internships were received, and Mariamar Gutierrez (Intern Liaison) and Carol Beidleman NPS Park Flight coordinator are conducting interviews and selecting the top candidates.

Verónica Pacheco of Venezuela will join us this spring at Fire Island National Seashore. She is a biologist with experience studying shorebirds and other bird species. As she says, reaching out to people who live near parks is "one of the most important things for conservation of species."
