Well I think I am getting the hang of twitter again. Thanks for the opportunity and conversation @GVIWORLD @DawnJorgensen #GVIConservation.

A7: Many people neglect nature in their backyards. Help your friends reconnect with wilderness and there'll be less apathy #GVIConservation

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

A7: Many conservation charities are desperate for funds. However, do your research well and make sure they are legit. #GVIConservation

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

A6: The financial and physical skill resources provided by vols can have a positive impact. Again, choose operators wisely. #GVIConservation

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

A6: 1. Education. Ethical volutourism operators will open the eyes of volunteers to the reality of wildlife conservation. #GVIConservation

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

A5: Do your research, come up with balanced arguments and spread the message. Don't be too quick to 'share' links too. #GVIConservation.

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

A5: I always thought I was preaching to the converted, but a few mins on social media and you realise more education is key #GVIConservatio

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

A4: Ignorance and powerful marketing. We can't deny that most people would love to interact with wildlife and get pics #GVIConservation

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

@GrifcoPR @DawnJorgensen I still feel sick about the de-fanged snakes used for pics in Jemaa el Fna square in Marrakech. #GVIConservation

[Dawn Jorgensen | The Incidental Tourist @DawnJorgensen]

@fox_andreas That's a great success story for @GVIWORLD @GVIdponcetaylor #GVIConservation

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

A3: No big cat project that lets vols handle/interact with the animals can claim successful rehabilitation. #GVIConservation

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

A3: The only reason @DSWT can rehabilitate ele's is because of the vast Tsavo wilderness they get moved to. #GVIConservation

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

A3: Any project involving sustained handling of potentially dangerous animals by non-professionals is unethical in my book. #GVIConservation

[Daniel Ponce-Taylor @dponcetaylor]

@DawnJorgensen that's a key question &that all should consider when choosing a #project. Look 4 #longterm objectives and strong partnerships

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

They are great people, the @LocalOceanTrust! https://t.co/9w0NWgYCTd

[Dawn Jorgensen | The Incidental Tourist @DawnJorgensen]

A2. I recently worked with @LocalOceanTrust in Watamu on Kenya's East Coast. They do incredible work with turtle rescue. #GVIConservation

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

A2: Learning about various aspects to conservation, some considered controversial, was a pivotal part of my vol experience. #GVIConservation

[Andreas Fox @fox_andreas]

@GVIdponcetaylor @DawnJorgensen Yes. I will be the first to admit GVI played a pivotal role - from vol to staff and now full time career
