 d) Explanation of what you completed For my second Independent component, I've worked at the Monrovia canyon park on the habitat restoration team, pulling unnesceary plants that are harmful to the environment, at the same time discovering new things about the wildlife that live there, I even saw a few carcasses of deer- most likely a mountain lions prey. I've also been surveying the trails, helping out the rangers and will soon start working at the nature center. As for the shelter, I just passed my evaluation on handling dogs and cats at their facility and have been doing kennel clean.

APPLIED:
How did the component help you answer your E.Q. or support on or more of your answers. Please include specific examples to illustrated how it helped.

• The habitat restoration crew gave me insight on the animals environment.
• The Baldwin park animal shelter taught me a lot about rehabilitation, for neglected and abused animals being "rehabilitated" back into a loving home. This is challenging both physically and mentally for the animal. You need to be able to interpret signs of stress, anger, happiness, etc. before approaching or allowing the public to approach. Once the animal get used to you, you can take it for walks, and take him to the play area, trying to get him used to the environment and less frightened of humans so they can be adopted- of course this is the opposite of my topic wildlife rehabilitation- the wildlife can not be friendly or trained to like humans. But it's the same concept in the rehabilitation phase. I also get to educate the public in both the Monrovia canyon park with how to approach wildlife, the trails, and environment while I give the public insight on adoptable dogs, what to look out for, if the animal is right for the family and encourage them to adopt the animal that has less of a chance at surviving.
