The majority of the population of Laos still relies on natural resources to feed their families. At the same time, growing businesses pose a threat to wildlife, forests and communities by extracting these resources.

Our Ambassador Manoly works at the intersection of policy and conservation to bridge this gap and ensure that Laos grows economically while conserving its wildlife and people. She was recently featured in @Vanity Fair’s Global Goals list for her work in conservation.

Her message to you is:

🌐Please use your knowledge and network to aid conservation.

🔊Be the voice of the people who do not have one.
