At SPNL, I learned first and foremost, that colleagues could be family and good friends. It was my first work experience and I am thankful it turned out to be fruitful, fun and interesting. I learned a new thing about the environment and how it is interlinked with the society around us. Transhumance was an amazing concept that was introduced me as it showed me natureās wonders and how, without exploitation, nature could sustain itself. I hope we revive transhumance and support its progress as it would be extremely threatening to so many societies and so many ecosystems if we do not.
