I reflect on what it feels like to finish my degree after over 6 years of studying.

Since I was a little girl, I have always been taught to do things the ‘right way’, but now, at 32, I can see that actually this is proving to be BS.

January hasn’t gone to plan, but that has taught me something important about how to approach the rest of 2024.

I often wonder about what you would think about how life turned out.

Follow the joy - 40Before40

I recently had the pleasure of learning about the amazing work that, founder of Lonely Conservationists, Jessie Panazzolo does within the conservation sector.

Written by Rebecca Hansell. Inspired by ‘Why I Write’ by Terry Tempest Williams.

Their names are Dian Fossey, Jane Goodall, and Biruté Galdikas. We should know them, we should tell people about them, and we should aspire to be more like them. So, let’s take a closer look.

What do Botanic Gardens do for conservation?

In July 2020, fresh off the back of the first UK lockdown, I took my first step into the conservation sector (those of you who know me, will know how pumped I was for this!) and I started my new position of Junior Aquarist at Blue Reef Aquarium, Hastings.

You’ve likely watched the latest Netflix documentary to grip the public’s attention – Seaspiracy. Focusing on the issues surrounding our exploitation of the oceans and the animals that live in the big blue.

‘A Perfect Planet’ is now available to binge on BBC iPlayer, yes, all 5 episodes are available, so I eased myself into this new year by watching one a day to keep the joy coming day after day.

The sun rises and sets in the same way it has since the beginning of time. Only now it is over a civilisation more advanced than anything you have seen before.
