Growing up in a farming town in the middle of Kisii, Kenya, I cosidered my uncle as my hero. Every day I would sit next to my Uncle, and enthralled me about 'improbably dubbed in Kenya' as he illustrated the feeding habits of a ring-tailed lemur in an inaccessible forest next to our home or some other equally exotic species and location. He was my single access point to far-away nature. I was spellbound. Today, I believe more than ever we need powerful storytellers who can mesmerize generations to conserve our environment. If we can't imagine a world in which nature and people thrive together, we certainly won't be able to create it. People need to dream their future in order to achieve it.
