Our project week trip was to Laos, we planned to spend the week at an elephant conservation centre to not only educate ourselves about the conservation of animals but also to help out around the centre. This is a global problem and all members of the group were very aware of the looming risks of animal extinction and the reasons these animals need to be protected. In my opinion, it is one of the most important issues ongoing currently and it should definitely be considered globally significant. We wanted to visit one of the places where work is being done to save these animals and trying their best to offset the issues that they face.
