What a great time as citizen scientists – full of excitement, adventure and doing something useful for nature. Great time, great group, great cause. We'll be back! Before Biosphere Expeditions, little attention was paid by my government to the reefs of Musandam. This has all changed and there are now protected areas, based on scientific advice, and a local NGO, coming out of capacity-building efforts. Thank you so much for all this. We have been with Biosphere Expeditions many times across the globe and each time we felt we contributed something significant to local wildlife and people. It's certainly the most ethical, successful and best citizen science / wildlife conservation organisation we have ever experienced. Biosphere Expeditions' support of our snow leopard conservation work here in Kyrgyzstan is crucial. With the help of their citizen scientists, we can get so much more work done, engage with locals more and create economic incentives based on ethical, low-impact citizen science tourism. Our expectations regarding whales, dolphins and other animals, and the research work were 100% fulfilled, but the thing that made it extra special for us was the genuinely friendly and relaxed atmosphere between everyone on the expedition. Biosphere Expeditions has given me my first job and I am very grateful as there is little work in our area. I am also very grateful for the work that the citizen scientists are doing. Since their arrival I haven’t lost any cattle to lions and hyaenas. My cattle are very important to me and for my family. I have a bit of a soft spot for Biosphere Expeditions, because it played a big role in my life choices. My first expedition with them was to Oman and it opened my eyes to the importance of nature conservation, so I changed my career path, have been on lots more expeditions and never looked back. Thank you for instigating change. You have inspiring leaders and scientists that are great role models. Our experience in Costa Rica has been fascinating and rewarding thanks to these incredible people, this amazing place and the efforts to save sea turtles. The memories of this inspiring journey will last a lifetime and we were fortunate to share it with you. Thank you so much for training us in Reef Check techniques and helping us to come up with our own community-based conservation programme and local NGO. The reefs in our country need all the help they can get and we could not have done this without Biosphere Expeditions.
