One of the winners of the 2009 Hands-On Explorer Challenge, Pete, wrote to National Geographic Emerging Explorer Luke Dollar with some questions. You can read Pete’s questions and Luke’s answers on the NG Kids Green Scene blog.

Luke Dollar works on conservation efforts on the island country of
Madagascar. The animal in the picture above, the fossa, is one of the
species he is trying to protect.

    Hi Everyone!

    Luckstomper here. First commenter? Haha, I just commented on the Green Scene post right before this. It’s nice to have a new post every so often, you know what I’m sayin’?

    That’s so cool that Pete wrote to Luke, and now it’s featured here. I wonder what inspired Pete to write to him. Maybe Madagascar will be the 5th destination for the HOEC! Hmmm…. Well that’s all for now, talk to everyone soon!

    ~~~~JON~~~~

    luckstomper– i was think the same thing… maybe Madagascar will be the next destination for HOEC, which would be awesome because it was one of the places that i was hoping for it to be.

    Interesting. I don’t know…….it would be cool for the next HOEC to be in Madagascar. Or maybe someplace in Asia? I don’t know…..it would be fun to go anywhere out of the country, since I have never been out of the country.
    I’m going to comment on the Greenscene blog!

    Hi Everyone!

    Luckstomper here. Wow, I can see none of the “usuals” have been on in awhile. Well I would like to welcome all of the newcomers to the blog! That would include,…Jindo2108, SWIMMERK, Cheetah101, Razn08, PuppeyGirl2000, and Jj139842!

    PuppeyGirl2000- You can’t blog on this blog. Only people who have access to blog can post things, like the winners of the Hands-On Explorer Challenge.

    Jj139842- Nothing is wrong is with your dog because it eats grass, almost every dog/pet does that. Why don’t you get it cat grass for him, or her.

    I just got back from my rental house in Seabrook, NH. My neighbors and their family were all up there. It was so much fun!!! Guess what?! This Thursday,…I am getting,…BRACES! Gah! I don’t want them! Are they bad at first? Any tips? Oh and fyi I’m only getting the top at first. In other news I’m going to camp for two weeks following this coming one! And right in between for three days my step-dad and brother and I are going to NYC! I can’t wait! Well that’s all for now. Talk to everyone soon!

    ~~~~JON~~~~

    Hey lukestomper!

    Braces hurt at the beginning, but after a while then you are totally OK!
    P.S. Stock up on Tylonal!

    I came to the website because of a science experiment on fossa & mouse lemurs! This is so cool what he is doing!
