Congaree Biosphere Intern Attends World Youth Forum
Ethan Shafron participated in the 2019 Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Youth Forum in Changbaishan Biosphere Reserve, China, September 15 – 18. The 2019 Forum’s stated goal was to engage youth in contributing to discussions in preparation for the Convention on Biological Diversity Conference of the Parties 15 in 2020, and to encourage them to be “actors of change.”
Ethan is a recent graduate of the University of Vermont in Environmental Studies. He is one of three interns who completed their Geoscientist-in-the-Parks (GIP) Internships at Biosphere Reserves over the summer 2019, working on planning, outreach and communications. Ethan worked in Congaree Biosphere Reserve, South Carolina.
