Science for All: Alvin Jean-Bonnelame鈥檚 path to community water stewardship
听
Alvin Jean-Bonnelame began his career as a ranger on islands such as Fr茅gate and Aldabra, where he gained a strong foundation in island research and ecological monitoring. Guided by his passion for conservation, he is now pursuing a degree in Environmental Science at the University of 巨乳无码.
His current research investigates the distribution and diversity of macroinvertebrates in Rivi猫re Grande St Louis, spanning from Bel Ombre to Port Glaud. Macroinvertebrates 鈥� visible aquatic animals without backbones, including insect larvae, snails, and shrimp 鈥� are widely recognised as indicators of water quality. By comparing their composition across the river鈥檚 upper, middle, and lower sections, Alvin aims to assess freshwater health without relying on costly laboratory testing.
