Laura Baboolal
Laura is from the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago. From a very early age she has always had a passion for animals. She acquired a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental and Natural Resource Management and a minor in Zoology at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine. During this period of studies, she wrote a brief research paper on the behaviour of the Lora snake. This paper is on the Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago.
Laura has also obtained a Master of Science degree in Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Development in the Caribbean at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine. For her Master’s thesis, she researched the patch occupancy of the Crab-Eating Raccoon in the Caroni Swamp, Trinidad. Even though she is fairly new to conservation on the ground, she has a great passion for the protection and conservation of wildlife in her country of Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean.
Laura has done some volunteer work for beach clean ups in Trinidad and went along on several leatherback turtle patrols. Her goal is to make a positive impact on the conservation of wildlife in her country of Trinidad and Tobago and across the globe.
