We must always be aware that any conservation space is a range of components: it’s not just about biodiversity, it’s not just about the local communities.

If it’s to that point where you think you want to do it and it feels right but other people are telling you not to, just do it. No matter what obstacle you think might stop you, when you wake up in the morning just say “I’m doing it.”

The best part of my job is being able to include the environment in topics that most people think are completely unrelated.
