This interview was so much fun!

NightWatch is a brilliant project to be part of!

Hey there! We're Reserva, a bunch of kids and young people from 30+ countries working to create protected areas in biodiversity hotspots. We mostly meet virtually to plan fundraisers for our projects, but we've gotten to know each other at school talks, social meetups, conferences, and expeditions!
