Coming up with an action plan has been trickier than I originally imagined. Because my topic isn't one that has a ton of local resources that I could take advantage of, I'm finding that I need to think outside the box. The main focus of my campaign will be education, so I'm hoping to get into a couple of elementary schools, run a poster campaign/fundraiser, and provide a week's worth of lessons for the VCS 10th grade evolutionary biology class on human evolution and how it relates to primates. I will also put together a portfolio of lab reports describing the many species of primates as a standard for how lab reports should look, as well as to have on file for any future conservation efforts led in either Encounter Week or R + S form. The fundraising campaign will begin with a Green/Grey contest coin drive, with the proceeds going to adopting a gorilla on behalf of the VCS community. Following that, I'll create a more widespread fundraising initiative that will target the broader community, which will also play into the poster campaign. This whole process is trickier than I imagined, but so far it seems that the planning stage will be the hardest.
