Rhino Poaching Crisis
October 2019
I have been dreaming about coming to @careforwild for a really long time. CFW is on a mission to save rhinos from extinction and I was extremely proud and beyond excited to join them and @conservationace team for a month. I was volunteering, assisting with daily cleaning, feeding, and doing maintenance as well as documenting everything that happens here to raise awareness on rhino crisis and tell a wider audience about the amazing work that those organizations are doing here.
I always knew about the problem with illegal poaching and hunting but didn't really know much about the rhino crisis until I visited a game reserve in Cape Town in 2018. Just a day before my arrival poachers killed one of the rhinos. The incident was really fresh, so everyone was talking about it. Knowing that rhino herself, our guide was very emotional when talking about rhino numbers going down and why.
This is when I decided that I want to join @conservationace to learn more, help and raise awareness about it on my socials.
@careforwild pays incredible attention to education here: documentaries, participation in discussions, listening to presentations, learning shocking information that gives you goosebumps. So my role here was to present that information to people and make them learn and act.
Heathrow- Climate-Smart Airport
In May 2019 I visited Heathrow to learn more about sustainable innovations that the airport is implementing. Using my knowledge I was trying to raise the awareness of the public about sustainability work that occurs in the backdrop of their next flight.
Aviation has received a lot of negativity in the media over the last few years, however, I do not believe that stopping progress is the answer, that is why I‘ve worked with @heathrow_airport and @airportco2_ to learn what they are doing to reduce emissions. I was pretty skeptical before the visit, but I learned that airports not only can dramatically reduce their own emissions but can also encourage airlines to be greener.
Heathrow’s climate efforts have been recognized by the @airportco2_ program – the only carbon management standard for airports. There are now 286 airports globally that address their carbon emissions within this program.
Heathrow has invested over £100M in sustainable transformations and is increasing its focus on supporting the development of alternative aviation fuels, which could be the key to sustainable air travel and reduce CO2 emissions by around 80% compared to fossil fuels.
My role in this campaign was to create interesting and engaging content both photos, videos, and text to showcase how Heathrow is aiming to lead the way in sustainable aviation.
