Emergency Relief Program Manager – International Fund for Animal Welfare (www.ifaw.org)
Today’s Date: 4 December 2007
1. What interaction with an animal and/or nature in your life has had the biggest impact on you?
The geese which flew over my house morning & night every winter day as they flew between their feeding & roosting grounds
2. Did you have a favorite place in the great outdoors during your childhood?
My local river estuary – full of wildlife!
Now? The same, it’s just a different estuary.
3. As a former zookeeper, I would love to know what your favorite animal is and why?
The harbour seal – the ….? beach bum!
4. What do you think is the greatest environmental challenge facing us now, and what do you think will be the greatest challenge in the future?
1. Global warming/climate change
2. Human population growth, combined with increased consumerism in growing economies
- even if we tackle climate change we will create new challenges!
5. If you could give one piece of advice regarding the environment and our natural resources, what would it be?
Value them while you can, because however hard we try to conserve it, our biodiversity will probably never be greater again than it is today
-and value the environment around you- wildlife is everywhere, not just in remote, exotic locations, and make room & tolerate wildlife around us, in our yards & on our streets and our local pond/park, etc.
