I read ‘How to Conserve Conservationists’ last month and I absolutely love it. I especially related to conservationists not being understood and our loved ones dismissing us, or just not finding friends who understand and are just as passionate. I feel like everyone should read this book at least once in their life – like I feel like it should be mandatory. You did an amazing job on this book and have helped a lot of people in their conservation journey, including me which I am immensely thankful for.

This is a wonderful compilation of the experiences of conservationists in the conservation industry. There are some beautifully poignant stories and beautifully uplifting stories in these pages. Conservationists are our modern day heroes but this book shows that working in the conservation industry has many challenges. If only conservation had the same global status and respect as health and transport!
