1. What is the most important thing I learned from the interview? Is there anything I would do differently for other interviews?
- I learned that communication is very important when handling a nature center and these wildlife animals. These facilities must have connections with others that are similar in order to be able to help each other. They work with veterinarians, rehabilitators, and other nature centers. Animals that are no longer able to be rehabilitated are put in nature centers as educational animals. That way they are able to nurture them and raise money for them by educating the public. Veterinarians are used by both nature centers and rehab facilities. Rehabiltitators ask them for their opinion and work together to provide the right treatment. In nature centers, if one of their animals are injured, they take them to a special veterinarian.
- It turns out that they have a library at their nature center and might be great as sources for research. There's also this organization called Wild Wings that is rehabilitating hawks at their center and know many other organizations that deal with the same topic. I feel like this is the most important because it opens up your opportunities to have more experiences. They usually come every Saturday and I'm hoping to go one of these Saturdays to be able to talk to them. Hopefully I'll then be able to go to the other organizations every once and a while.
3. What makes my interviewee qualified to help me?
- Alvaro O. Guzman has been working at the facility for more than five years. He came into the job not knowing much and had to specifically be train to learn how to handle the animals. He was also given information about what is needed for each of their wildlife animals at the center. He is currently the only staff member at the facility who is able to handle the hawks and introduce them to the public.
