Crowdfunding Summary and Update

Hi everyone!

This is just a reminder that Conservation International is going to fund the remainder of my project once I reach 70%! I am currently at 55%, so just 15% more to go!

37 individuals have already come together to pledge $3,488 to 55% of the goal. 13 donors are Experiment repeat backers!

Thank you to everyone who has supported my project so far - it is so amazing to see people wanting to fund my research and manta ray conservation. I appreciate all your help and kind words of support :)

Please share this link of my project with family and friends if you want to help this project reach it's funding goal! Remember, these crowdfunding campaigns are all-or-nothing, so if I don't reach my goal then I will not be able to carry out this project. Only 5 more days left and we are so close!

Thank you again to everyone for donating and engaging with my project. It means the world to me and I hope I can reach my goal!

About This Project

My current research is focused on understanding the movement of reef manta rays around Papua New Guinea using satellite telemetry. Understanding the movement of this population can help justify the need for community-based marine protected areas and explore opportunities to promote eco-tourism. As global manta ray populations are decreasing due to expanding trade, the engagement of communities and protection of this elusive giant is crucial.

Blast off!
