“For my thesis project, I have created "Protecting Our Furry Friends", an educational colouring book that teaches kids proper etiquette for interacting with wildlife and encourages them to explore and protect local conservation areas. The overall goal for this work was to create an interactive resource for children aged 7-11 to learn ways of contributing to wildlife conservation that would hopefully also help them cope with any eco-anxiety they may be experiencing.”
