Yes, I am very passionate about wildlife conservation and preservation and spreading the word globally through the mass media about new funding initiatives and inventive conservation methods that can help sustain animal species living in wilderness. My wildlife conservation objective and ultimately my legacy is to create an extensive worldwide network of journalists/photographers/broadcasters who will gladly give up their time unconditionally to promote animal species living in the wild. It is equally important that wildlife conservation groups are totally transparent in their operations and held accountable for their actions, so that the general population know exactly where their donations and tax dollars are going. I believe not nearly enough is being done to sustain animal species living in their natural habitat. Journalists are the most powerful and compelling resource we have in implementing change, and we need to change our apathetic attitude right now if animal species are to remain a vital part of our environment, and ecosystem. Renowned wildlife conservationist David Attenborough believes that governments need to act immediately in initiating comprehensive renewable energy programs, and save natural habitat from further deforestation. Realistically, there are no financial incentives or any real pressure being placed upon governments by voters for them to go fully green in the foreseeable future, so we have to utilize the power of the press right now to protect endangered species wherever they may exist in the world from further human degradation. The general population has not been made fully aware of the extent of loss of natural habitat globally, and the media has to ring the alarm bells constantly, and compel governments through public pressure to prioritize wildlife conservation procedures. The media must take the guesswork out of wildlife sustainability by reporting widely on achievable economically viable solutions and preventative measures to remedy the growing problem of habitat loss.
