| 説明 | March is Women’s History month, and we want to highlight some of the amazing women here at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on our social media sites.Name: Amanda HorvathTitle: Fish and Wildlife BiologistDuty station: Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program, Regional Office, DenverWhere did you go to school and what did you study: Ohio Northern University (ONU) for a BS in Biology and Environmental Studies. I also attended the University of Colorado Denver (UCD) for a MS in Environmental Science. I earned my MS through the Master’s International Program which is a special program at UCD in conjunction with serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer (in my case I served in Paraguay).How did you get interested in conservation? When I was 10 years old my parents allowed me to have my first pet, which I chose to be a parakeet. From that moment on, I was hooked on wanting to know everything I could learn about birds. This led me to study biology as a career and continue a lifelong passion for conservation. What’s your favorite species and why? I have quite a few favorite species, but I think my favorite species is the burrowing owl. They are the most expressive of all the bird species I have observed and can be found from Colorado all the way down to the tip of Argentina. I used to love watching them in my town in Paraguay in the evenings with my Paraguayan counterparts and using that species to engage in discussions about bird and habitat conservation. |
