Hi! My name is Sara Zamparini, and this is the

plan for a trip I will do one day… I want to be a sea biologist and with my boat I will sail to different places to study and research on endangered animals. I will stop then at these three different places:

Sakhalin Island, Russia Pompom Island, Malaysia Moreton Island, Australia

Reasons why I go there: I need to count the female whales I check if the babies are growing healthy I want to help them if they are in danger (disease, garbage, toxins and oil spills)

I will start my journey from Korea and I am going to Sakhalin Island in Russia. The first animals I want to take care of are the whales. To reach them I’ll have to cross the Sea of Japan and go towards north.

Sakhalin Island

Pompom IslandMy next destination is Pompom Island. I have a turtle saving base camp there. I will have to cross again the Sea of Japan, then going south I will cross the East China Sea, the South China Sea and arrive in the Celebes Sea.

Reasons why I go there are:

• I want to save the turtle eggs from bird attacks

• I need to check humans are not destroying the turtle habitat

Moreton IslandThe last stop I am going to do is Moreton Island where the Great Barrier reef is. From Celebes Sea I will continue sailing South crossing Banda Sea, Arafura Sea and reach the Coral Sea.

Reasons why I go there:• I teach fishermen to avoid the use of explosive bombs • I need to protect living creatures• I want to film the changing of habitats
