Indoor or outdoor, as long as I'm working for nature I'm happy! I currently work as a Programs Coordinator with The Thin Green Line Foundation, drawing on my past experiences working in the field to help Rangers globally. Our work focusses on providing Training, Equipment, Emergency Aid and Networking Opportunities for the people working on the frontlines of conservation. As a former Ranger myself, I adore being outside and connecting others with nature. Personally, I have interests in community development and capacity building, the interface between conservation science and environmental policy, and rewilding! I'm a keen birder and hill-walker, currently exploring Victoria, Australia.

Samantha Gargour

Digital Business Manager, Samantha Gargour

Hi! My name is Sam. Photography is a side passion, wildlife in particular. Scuba Diving is another. It has led me to some remote locations both above and below the water. Through it, my personal awareness of the threat of climate change, extinction of species and the destruction of some of Earth’s greatest landscapes has increased. I’ve met many people & photographers along the way whose passionate dedication to marine and wildlife conservation has ignited a similar passion in me. I am grateful for these encounters and pledge to start making a difference myself, in some small way. As such, I decided to start Wild Conversations, a digital business service for wildlife conservationists, photographers & filmmakers, blog & early podcast. My mission is to 'converse to conserve' with the intention of highlighting individual wildlife conservation photographers and filmmakers. What they do, why they do it and how they hope to change the world though their images and films. I offer a wide range of services including communications, social media management, business development, research focusing on communicating the message of wildlife conservation.
