This story is part of a series designed to introduce the perspectives of alumni from the National Geographic Society and The Nature Conservancy’s global youth externship program. Each guest author is an emerging leader in conservation and storytelling. The morning air feels cold along the river’s edge as I watch the fish in front of me jump for insects. Whilst I wait in my spot amongst willows and nettles, a flash of blue makes me gasp.
