Not to say I was damaged or in some kind of rut when I found my calling, but it definitely awakened a fiery passion inside of me!

And now, as I grow into this and begin to have a higher understanding of the task in front of me, I find the Firefox keeps me centred (Little side note here: Red Pandas are sometimes called Firefoxes!).

For example, as a passionate animal rights activists, in all kind of areas, I often find myself in heated arguments with people, and more often than not, its not about them not being on my side, but because I don’t fully understand what I am standing up for. However, If we are talking about animal conservation, I can keep very level headed. Wondering why this was I continuously tried, yes tried, to get into arguments! Unsurprisingly I found that it was because of this deep love for the pandas that I was able to communicate freely and calmly, and leave a lasting impression in peoples mind of the cute and fluffy bundle of happiness that is the red panda! Slowly I am learning to communicate this love for all animals in my communication, as who is going to listen to a crazy person yelling random facts at you!? You are more likely to get your point across as a calm, level headed activist, well in my experience!

Of course, the people that make a noise and push people out of their comfort zones are the real heroes, but I’m not up to that level just yet! Ill focus on deforestation for now!

Peace, Love and Red Pandas, my ‘Soul’ers (how about THAT for a nickname huh!)

    About Me
    My love for red pandas started at a young age, when I saw them at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo, I learnt about their plight and the devastating reality that one day they might not exist at all. And from then on I knew what my purpose in life was, to save red pandas (as cliché as that sounds). That passion eventuated into action in 2011 when I journeyed to their Natural habitat in the Eastern highlands of Nepal. This is where I had the pleasure of seeing not one but two 3 month old cubs. After returning from Nepal I began to take a more hands on conservation approach from Australia. This blog will hopefully give an insight into the minefield that is wildlife conservation, and provide an understanding about the injustices towards animals in this human dominated world of ours.
