This is my third year as a Canisius Ambassador for Conservation. Every year I participate, I fall in love with this planet and its wonderful creatures all over again. These experiences reinforce my desire to conserve this planet and all of its species.

I have learned that Australian wildlife are so very different from North American species, but similar at the same time. The joy of observing a platypus or lorikeet in its natural habitat makes me want to confront those who are trying to destroy it. I love Australia and this planet as a whole. I hope to make the world a little better through CAC.
