Growing up, an early fascination with the natural world was encouraged by my parents, who frequently read to me about various plants and animals. This nurturing environment fostered a deep-rooted interest in environmental knowledge, primarily framed within a Western perspective.
My parents encouraged my
curiosity in the natural world
from an early age. They would
always read to me about plants
and animals and anything else I
might be interested in. This sparked
my worldview based in western
environmental knowledge.
