Childhood curiosity can indeed build a lifelong passion for the natural world. What is special about women's connection to the wild? And what can their unique vision teach us all?
A Hopi Indian proverb says: “Those who tell stories rule the world. » Many of nature's greatest defenders are women. Can their storytelling help restore balance to a troubled world?
Our stories of the wilderness have traditionally been told by white men. But in recent decades pioneering women have overcome external and internal obstacles to make their voices heard.
Partnerships between men and women, young and old, black and white, give us a fresh appreciation for the creatures we share this earth with. True collaboration can transform our understanding of the natural world.
