Writers Fortnight – Elephant Conservation

The fourth talk I attended was by a wildlife conservationist Dr Tammie Matson. She spoke about her journey in advocating for the protection in Wildlife, namely elephants in Rwanda, and how she got there. She spoke about how she had been passionate about wildlife conservation from when she was 15 and had gone on a trip to Africa. I found myself relating to her when she spoke as I too have an interest in animals and wildlife conservation. She talked about some of her experiences in dealing with animals in their natural habitats and her most memorable moments. From the questions that we asked, she said that she thought Education was the key to wildlife conservation. If people get educated then a large portion of protection for animals would get solved. I didn’t find this talk as interesting as it could have been but overall I quite enjoyed it.
