I knew I was a conservationist when: I help a group of biologist & primatologis who have difficulties in developing a conservation educational program ... and was confirmed when I joined Pride ! (after more than 20 years being raised and cared by a well-known indonesian ecologist/social-forester a.k.a my beloved father! :))

I knew I was a conservationist when: I was 6 years old and I conned my Dad into letting me stay up an hour past my bedtime so I could watch “Nature” on TV with him. Then I started daydreaming and hiking in my backyard in the woods of Connecticut. And I’ve been a certified tree-hugger ever since.

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!
