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.

It is not our classic Canadian species that remind me of home like the Canada Goose or the Common Loon, but the lesser known yet remarkable Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe Oenanthe). These small birds travel from Canada across the Atlantic Ocean to northwestern Europe, before flying south to Africa in a near perfect parallel to my own travel route (some of the species take an alternative route across Asia but they don\u2019t match my metaphor). While I have the benefit of taking airplanes rather than flying myself the whole way, we both have undertaken massive journeys \u2013 the wheatears chasing good breeding grounds and myself following a conservation passion. While both journeys seem almost too daunting to imagine from the starting point of Canada, <strong>I have come to appreciate how major milestones of this journey have been achieved on the back of small victories that we got to one footstep (or wingbeat) at a time.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mah301k8-5fcedc094037208a9669967ec6bcf8fb\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-mah301k8-5fcedc094037208a9669967ec6bcf8fb{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-mah301k8-5fcedc094037208a9669967ec6bcf8fb hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mah2xlpn-a247c67d8d9e45349298c9c5dcb77189\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mah2xlpn-a247c67d8d9e45349298c9c5dcb77189 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mah2xlpn-a247c67d8d9e45349298c9c5dcb77189 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mah2xlpn-a247c67d8d9e45349298c9c5dcb77189 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-49781 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-49781 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Northern-Wheatear_GettyImages.png' alt='' title='Northern Wheatear_GettyImages'  height=\"738\" width=\"1019\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mah2ysoc-50eb92555191337cb2d41281e7ec4d48'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Northern wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe).\u00a0Photo: S.

Myself, my classmates, and our organizations hit some major milestones during our time here. For starters, we finished an intensive 3 month learning experience covering topics as broad as conservation livelihoods to genetics. While the diplomas won\u2019t arrive until after all the assignments are handed in, we still got through it together. We also celebrated several birthdays including a 30th and 40th birthday for my classmates, but also the <strong>100th year of Gerald Durrell<\/strong> who founded the Durrell conservation trust and the training academy that hosted me. Durrell also founded <strong>Wildlife Preservation Canada who is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.<\/strong> Everywhere I look, there are massive undertakings that deserve recognition and celebration. But as I look back on my own milestones during the DESMAN course, it is those smaller victories that truly stand out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>This theme of small victories was woven throughout the DESMAN experience.<\/strong> They popped up during our leadership training where we explored how taking the time to celebrate and acknowledge the small wins improves team morale and helps push towards larger goals. During our week learning how to plan a conservation project using the standardized system of Conservation Standards, taking time to consider and appreciate each small step of conservation action and how they work together to lead to a bigger goal was an integral part of the planning process. Getting past our exams and major assignments were also small wins that we celebrated as a class with dance parties in the backyard or nights out in the town. Even the structure of the DESMAN course itself celebrated our small victories. Every so often we had a full week dedicated to a topic, like GIS, communication and facilitation skills, and the Conservation Standards. These weeks functioned like mini courses embedded in our larger one, with even a few extra students joining in for them. At the end of each course, we had a mini graduation ceremony as we picked up our certificates to celebrate our accomplishments for the week. And sometimes, as a class we celebrated just getting through the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what stands out most of all was the smallest of moments early in the course. After some admittedly depressing lectures on the state of the world\u2019s biodiversity and climate change, we took time to go around the class and share what gave us hope. <strong>Those small conservation wins and the passion of other people for conservation were those beacons of hope for us.<\/strong> We hope and have seen how the changes we can make as conservationists, however small, add up to larger victories. Wildlife Preservation Canada got to 40 years of saving endangered species in Canada one day at a time. The scope of conservation need is huge, and the problem is dire, but <strong>as the Northern Wheatear and every other migratory species teaches us \u2013 every huge undertaking is made up of small steps.<\/strong> As I wrap up my time in Jersey, I will follow my Wheatear cousins south. There we will split up as they go to sub-Saharan Africa and I head to Mauritius, both of us reaching another milestone in our journeys.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-1c28nfn-b43226128f209289cfc90758c79f8147 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  blog-inner avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-49769'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-rs2n4z-8fed8e8a96cdfebce06b2081ea3cf81e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-15  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lhhwhp6e-a690ccf4b4f4aac4efe348d582491d6a'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Mariel Terebiznik<\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">34th Canada&#8217;s New Noah<\/h5>\n<p>Mariel a toujours entretenu une relation profonde avec la nature et la conservation, ayant grandi en passant la plupart de son temps dehors dans les parcs.
