A Positive Voice
As a general rule in the media world, bad news sells. But we are not here to sell, neither are we here to get more likes or the most shares. We are here because we want to publicize and celebrate conservation victories, no matter how small, a little faith can be restored in the public’s view of where the natural world is heading. We need positive conservation news amidst the tragedy in order to keep ourselves and you motivated, inspired and determined.
