What a beautiful plant! I was thinking of Philodendron micans as well. Especially that velvety red leaf. Has a similar sheen to it.
I really hope I can get into conservation one day as well. I did a lot of schooling in marine science as well as environmental science, because I'd absolutely love to get involved in conservation and habitat restoration. I was actually going to start a Master's degree this year to continue pursuing the dream, but COVID made a huge mess of that. Between schools figuring out how to contend with it, some new hurdles in my initial financial plan, and the fact I planned on studying internationally. So that's all on hold at the moment. But it always puts a smile on my face when I see others putting their time and effort into species and their environments. Especially now, when they need our help more than ever.
