Dear Refugio ecologico caiman,

We are two students (Daan Mathijssen and Job Kremer), studying Tropical Forestry and Nature Management at the University of Applied Sciences Van Hall Larenstein (Velp, The Netherlands). We read about your organization in an article in a Dutch newspaper (de Volkskrant). After reading the article, we researched the project some more and it really got us interested and amazed. 

The way your organization combines livestock, ecotourism and research really appealed to us. In our study the problems livestock can cause to nature is discussed quite a lot and we were amazed to see that your organization manages to combine nature conservation and livestock in a sustainable way so that both aspects can flourish.
 
At our university we are currently doing a major called tropical livelihoods. This is a specialization focused on combining both the livelihood of local people and sustaining the forests/ environment for next generations to come. The course is giving in English and we both speak the language well. In this course we are looking at a lot of different aspects of how to combine these aspects. Besides the fact that we cannot hold back our excitement about the way the organization functions, this organization also connects perfectly with our study. This is the reason why we are sending you this e-mail. 

Next year (2021) we have been required to do an internship for a period of six months. We would like to know whether there are any possibilities for us to do an internship in your organization. We would love to learn more about the structure and the setup, in particular to learn about the way you combine livestock, ecotourism and research that takes place. If there are any possibilities for an internship, we would like to hear from you, and we can send further information about ourselves and the structure of the internship 

The internship will be between January 2021 and July 2021.

We are looking forward to your response. 
With kind regards, 
Job Kremer and Daan Mathijssen
