Social Conservationists

Following the content of the stories atm: one of my favourite things about LC is it's brought me so much confidence. I read a paper about how women are treated in conservation careers and I just emailed the author and now we have a Skype meeting this morning. I don't know if I would have thought of my self as worthy enough to do that before. And what do I want to see in the new year? More people harbouring this new confidence! We don't have to be burnt out or unsure of ourselves now we have so many people supporting us so let them boost you up and go and strive for greatness my homies! 💚💪🌱 Photo by @sha.hsu 📷 When I was growing up I used to go for walks every night to reset me for the next day and clear my head. Somewhere along the line I just stopped doing it and only walked to take photos of birds or to walk with friends. Now I've started walking at night again and it's been an amazing reflective space and break for the mind. Have you got any mindfulness or wellness habits you've recently started again?! Let me know! 🌱💚💪 Photo by @wildlifebyhannah 📷 In my last meeting, the person who I was speaking with asked how long it would be until I could cross out "lonely" and we would just be conservationists. Tbh, I am definitely not lonely anymore in the industry now that I have all of you- but I especially want every single conservationist to feel like they also aren't alone and have a tribe of people ready to support, empower and back them when they need. So remember, if you ever meet someone in the field, at uni or at work- make sure they feel like they are a part of something bigger and definitely let them know that they matter- we need everyone banding together to really save the world 💪💚🌱 photo by @jayden.thunder 📷 Last night there was a lot of beer so this photo by @adam_talkswild seems appropriate for today! I hope you all have celebratory plans this weekend after your hard years of work, study, volunteering, and being determined to persevere to achieve whatever your goals may be! I'm so proud of all of you and you definitely deserve to let your hair down once in a while! Don't forget that this life may not be the party we asked for, but while we're here we should dance 🌱💪💚 Yessss!!! We got our first donation to the Srikandi Fellowship!! We are getting closer to helping 10 women in North Sumatra next year!! If you want to help @nayla.azmii and I empower women in conservation find the link through the website 💚💪🌱 photo by @biologistspace 📷 There is no better feeling than being humbled by a huge tree. This is such an incredible shot by @callador which instantly makes me feel the calm and awe just by looking at it. 🌱💪💚 ***NEW WEDNESDAY BLOG!!!*** this week's blog is by @adam_talkswild who dispite his dislike of writing and dyslexia, managed to pump out a great story for us about his experience in the conservation industry. It just goes to show what can happen when you put your mind to something and how overcoming your own grievances can have the power to help so many people! Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to write this Adam! 💚🌱💪 Link in bio! It's weird to reflect on this year and see all the impossible things I've done. It makes me think that the impossible things I have to do can also be done. It's time to accept how invincible we are and how we have the power to make great change. I believe in all of you and I hope you do too 💪💚🌱 photo by @gogreenfortheocean 📷 I still haven't swam in the ocean this year in fear that it's too cold, but on the other side of the world in Scotland, people like @garden.faerie are experiencing water colder than what comes out of the cold tap. She is the true meaning of brave and fearless and I really hope she doesn't contract frost bite!! 🌱💚💪 When nature is so beautiful you can't help but relish in it. @wildlife.jas I love this photo and I hope you keep your free spirit and keep making me want to dance on the edge of the world too! 💚🌱💪
