Working to help the Mexican Gray Wolfes (E-mail)

Dear Enrike,
How are things? Sorry I haven't written sooner but I've been busy. I have enrolled in a program for the Mexican gray wolf conservation organized by Naturalia, so I've gone to Western Sierra Madre. It's a charitable organization and I really love it!
We have a lot of work because they are calculated only 350 animals of this species. We carried out protocols necessary for the release and management of wolves released; potential preys are free on different areas too. We help wolves regain their instincts and hunting skills to survive in wildlife. It seeks acceptance by local people. We perform activities of environmental education and diffusion at regional level.
The best part about this program is that we help the environment and the conservation of the gray wolf . It's hard work but we have fun with all this and I've met a lot of amazing people!
I hope you're having a wonderful summer :D! Write back soon.

All the best,
Yadira

Biography of Christopher Columbus

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy in 1451. He was the son of Domenico Colombo and Susanna Fontanarrosa (weavers). In his youth he was a merchant seaman in the Mediterranean Sea.
In the decade of 1476, sailing with the Portuguese, Columbus planned to reach Asia by crossing the Atlantic Ocean. In 1492 achieved the support of Queen Isabella of Spain and signed the Capitulation of Santa Fe, document that allowed to start their journeys.
In his first voyage reached to the island Guanahani (San Salvador), Cuba (Joan) and Santo Domingo (The Spanish). He returned to Spain thinking he had reached islands of Asia.
On his second voyage explored the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico and Jamaica; in the third discovered Venezuela; in the fourth met Central America but believing he had reached the Indies.
He died in Valladolid in 1506, not knowing it was the discoverer of the American continent.
