As a child playing the lawn of his grandparents house, he would watch their hulking figures float by, imitating the researchers who trailed behind them. He saw them tagging the massive gray animals, drawing blood samples and even recording their every exhale. Since then, Galves, now aptly known as the manatee man, has made manatees his life. Galves, now is the Belize Manatee Project Program Coordinator in his home village of Gales Point Manatee. Some people are meant to be manatee conservationists, and thats what I am, he said, explaining that manatees essential role to the ecosystem is reason enough to want to save them at any cost. You can donate to get Galves a rescue truck and boat ( gofundme/b50vao).
