Julie Razafimanahaka
A researcher by training, Julie qualifies herself as an adventurer and is passionate about people and nature. As a child she grew up in the city of Antananarivo where her permanent address is. However she feels her best, when she is out in the rural villages, learning from and discussing with people living near the forests with lemurs, bats, frogs and wild tree species. She recognises the challenges in reconciling biodiversity conservation and human development. She is personally convinced that education is the best arm to fight climate change, biodiversity loss and poverty. To succeed, education needs to be adapted to the audience and the context. This is why multiple approaches are needed.
Fun fact: As a child, Julie loved doing crochet but forgot about it for many years. She has revived this passion for a year now and goes everywhere with yarn and a crochet!
