\"\"<\/a>My internship focuses on restoring Desert Fan-Palm Oases.\u00a0 Apparently, no one has come up with a set way on how to restore desert habitat.\u00a0 There is a lot of collaboration and research into finding techniques to use, to restore this habitat.\u00a0 My favorite method by far is using the Groasis Waterboxx.<\/p>\n

Here is a link to show you more about Groasis Waterboxxes, http:\/\/www.groasis.com\/page\/uk\/index.php<\/a><\/p>\n

They are designed by Pieter Hoff who works for AquaPro.\u00a0 I have used these Waterboxxes to establish seeds of our target species in hard to grow places.\u00a0 However, because I work in the desert, when you place things like this out there, wildlife tends to use them as habitat.\u00a0 While monitoring these Waterboxxes, I ran across this little guy in one of our dead Waterboxxes.\u00a0 (Shown in the picture below)\u00a0 This is a Desert Banded Gecko, with its tail re-growing.\u00a0 That is why its tail looks so weird!<\/p>\n

This is so cool, I thought living in the desert would mean not seeing this much wildlife, but I totally underestimated the desert.\u00a0 I thought geckos were needed more water than they could find in the desert.\u00a0 Obviously I was wrong.<\/p>\n

Anyways, restoring desert habitat is definitely a learning process, so if anyone has any ideas feel free to comment and let me know!\u00a0 These Waterboxxes are in the process of being tested by the project I am working on as well as by many other people.\u00a0 I really hope the plants that we have planted in them survive throughout the summer!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
