‘…I’ve realised that the human connection to nature is a universal, human experience, and a very complex one regardless of whether it is in Africa, Asia or anywhere else in the world.’ #AfricaRefocused #NEWFcommunity #GreenStoriesGoa #ChangingTheNarrative green-stories.in

‘My time at Green Stories has solidified the urgency of storytelling as a powerful tool to tell human, wildlife and nature stories - with the influence of local voices and local talent.’
