And this is also important when we are talking about animals and bodies.

I think from a very young age, I wanted to work with nature and conservation.

So this was set very, very early.

So I got involved how I could, studying of course, but volunteering, then doing field research.

I suppose I had a science entry to the business, to ecology and conservation.

But pretty much through experience, you learn that it's not just about science, but it's really about bringing people together around conservation.

I was always more fascinated about anything to do with water and wetlands.

That was just a really beautiful story because both humans and beavers are compelled to build, right? We're, we're both constantly modifying our environment to maximize our own food and shelter, and yet we're doing it in a way that is fundamentally inimical to all other forms of life, right? And, you know, we're stomping out biodiversity everywhere you turn, whereas beavers are building in a way that promotes all other forms of life, right? They're these incredible agents of biodiversity, conservation, and restoration.

Yeah, I was always more fascinated about anything to do with water, and wetlands, well, they're really fascinating places, and they're so central to, to people.

You know, to people's, uh, culture, uh, to art, as well as in, in very many practical ways to human survival.

So once I started to, to work with wetlands, I was hooked [laughs].

Uh, so the last 30 years, that's, uh, water and wetlands has been my focus.

And, you know, I love trees, but, uh, [laughs] forests, but I think, uh, pales into insignificance compared with, uh, what wetlands have to offer.

And Wetlands International, well, it's quite an old organization.

It's more than 60 years now, and it's the only global NGO which focuses on one kind of ecosystem, so it's interesting.
