I am an enthusiastic conservationist who as a teen wanted to go and live in the rainforest to learn how to live in harmony with the planet however I thought it would be better if I stayed in the west and spread consciousness, promoted awareness & educated others about sustainability, using natural organic products, living a green lifestyle, eating organically, using regenerative methods of agriculture and individually doing as little harm to the planet as possible. I worked in the healing complimentary medicine field initially, promoting natural medicine, and ran green events, green fairs and green festivals whilst being a single parent and living in a green community. Then I worked in the natural products industry and education. I am now 56 years old and recently started volunteer work in marine conservation and trained in leading others to connect with nature.  I feel that I need to learn new skills  so that I can run or contribute to working in conservation projects and encourage people to care for and protect wildlife by  finding ways to involve them.
