What do you think about global warming?… Read More
What do you think about the CITES, this Convention on the International Trade of Endangered Species?… Read More
And CITES, what’s that?” You tell them what it means, what is it for. We need to find a way to put more of nature into people’s experience. I’m not sure if I have a good answer for it though. Well my follow up was how. Yeah, yeah. But I’m… Read More
What about improving the connections with a unique audience like teenagers to heighten their zeal and awareness of the natural world?… Read More
