One of Los Altos High Schoolâs newest student groups, the Coral Reef Conservancy Project (CRCP), has set some lofty goals, including trying to help pass H.R.241, a federal bill that would provide monetary incentives for countries to fund nature conservation.
âOriginally, it was all just science-based, but we brought the government point of view into the club,â said CRCP co-president Simran Gupta, a junior. âWeâre trying to get endorsements from other organizations and support from legislators.â
The idea for the club came from junior Medha Rajagopalan, who said she wanted to start a student organization to help the environment. After reaching out to Gupta, who has experience in government work, the two put the idea into action.
