Journal de La Réserve Naturelle Nationale de St.Martin #36

16 An intern at the Réserve Naturelle from February 18 through August 16, 2019, Camille Sanchez has since earned her mas- ter’s degree at the University Paul Sabatier in Toulouse. She contributed to the collec- tion of data on shorebirds that visit the salt ponds in Saint Martin and entered the results on the eBird database, which includes all information collected since 2011 as part of the shorebird project. In the same spirit as the UNESCO MAB (Man and the Biosphere) program, which looks at the interactions between human activities and ecological systems with an eye toward sustainable management of natural resources, she completed a field-based perception survey with residents and tourists. The idea was to evaluate their knowledge on the existence of the ponds, the shorebird populations that visit them, and the management of these spaces and species. After her successful internship, Camille is currently looking for a job or might prolong her days at the univer- sity and begin a thesis.
