Conservation
Optimism
A global movement for nature and people.
Wild nature is declining rapidly, and the earth’s life support systems are under increasing stress.
As nature erodes and the response of human systems is inadequate or destructive, it can seem like the only rational response is despair. Yet if you zoom in from the big picture, a mosaic appears; in amongst the stories of loss there are inspiring stories of regeneration and positive change, with nature making a difference in people’s lives, and people valuing and nurturing their natural environment. These stories are the key to securing our planet’s future; we need to learn from them, replicate them and thereby build a world in which nature and people can coexist. Our mission is telling these stories of conservation optimism — large and small — so as to inspire change.

Crisis to Hope: Rewriting the Future for Trafficked Pangolins in Zambia
If someone asked me what the highlight of my animal science career has been, I would answer without hesitation: working with pangolins. These remarkable animals have deepened my professional curiosity and touched my heart. Every pangolin is full of surprises. Of course, each rescued pangolin comes in with different health status, but also unique feeding preferences, different waking up and sleeping hours, and their own personalities. They’ve shown me how much we must learn and – with all the threats they are facing – how urgently we must act to protect them.
