1. What interaction with an animal and/or nature in your life has had the biggest impact on you?
No particular one that I can pinpoint, but several animals, animal-related incidences, and feeling secure and confidence when in close contact with nature.
2. Did you have a favorite place in the great outdoors during your childhood?
small community forests and forested hills
Now? any tropical rainforest
3. As a former zookeeper, I would love to know what your favorite animal is and why?
Tokay gecko – was nicknamed “tokay” by my father when I was 2-3 years old. We live in a town that receive no electricity, and when the tokay gecko came calling in the evening, I would always rush out of the house. Growing up later, I learnt that that the Tokay gecko can take preys much larger than itself.
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?
current challenge - to overcome anthropocentrism. Future challenge – ensuring resources are accessible to all.
5. If you could give one piece of advice regarding the environment and our natural resources, what would it be?
Biodiversity and Natural Resources Conservation for Human Preservation
