I knew I was a conservationist when: I joined my first dynamite fishing trip to the North of Bohol, Philippines (my home in 1995) in a place called the Danajon Bank and watched literally everything blown up by a group of poor fishers (poor literally and educationally) - dynamiting was their "livelihood" and back then there was very little stigma associated with dynamite fishing and they were in fact very proud and macho dynamiters! After seeing that I realized it wasn't so much that these people were "bad", they were just doing what they knew best - but it did tell me the whole "system" was wrong and there was lots for me to do.. I still haven't left 15 years on and there is still lot's to do!
