itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Since 1988, the Canada\u2019s New Noah program has provided young conservation biologists in Canada the opportunity of a lifetime. Each year, WPC selects a dedicated biologist from applicants across Canada to undertake a 3-month course at the Durrell Conservation Academy in the U.K. followed by a 6-month internship on the islands of Mauritius and Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. This is an opportunity unlike any other for young Canadians to learn firsthand how the world\u2019s most successful conservation recovery programs are managed and to bring this knowledge and experience back to improve Canada\u2019s conservation capacity. Rosie Heffernan is WPC\u2019s 33<sup>rd <\/sup>Canada\u2019s New Noah and reports on her experiences and how she will apply them on return to Canada. The Canada\u2019s New Noah Program is generously supported by the Alan &#038; Patricia Koval Foundation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-n73l2z-a8d48a66fe4a7e686ad3d94549b09482 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lwhvy05h-f5c0b0e792d128e3946f9feceefe1580'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I write this final blog as I sit aboard the flight that will take me back to the small Canadian town I left 11 months ago. <strong>I thought I was going on this journey to find out how to save the world, but I return with the understanding that it\u2019s already being done.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no denying that we are living in dark times, and sometimes, taking stock of the world hurts.
