Vegan. Trekkie (live long and prosper!). Trekker (in the countryside). Would-be wildlife photographer. Badger watcher since I was knee-high to a grasshopper ... a giant, mutant grasshopper obviously.
I once shared my kitchen with a badger for a week. (A road casualty who needed some TLC before being released back into the wild.)
My Philosophy
Conservation is nothing without compassion. Animals are not resources to be 'wisely used' but sentient beings with whom we share the planet and with whom our fate is inextricably linked. What we do to our fellow beings, we do to ourselves so let's take good care of them - not just the species but the individuals too.
What Gives Me Hope
That there are so many people who care for animals, people and the planet.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Resigning!
What/who changed my life and why
The first badger I ever saw (32 years later I'm still hooked). An article about chicken production in BBC Wildlife magazine (which set me on the path to vegetarianism, and ultimately veganism).
