Our guest today was so inspired by women pioneers like Jane Goodall that she applied for an internship with the Dutch embassy and found herself in Nairobi as a field researcher at a nature reserve. Seeing the Rift Valley with its herds of elephants and zebras became a defining moment for a career in conservation, which eventually led to an appointment as the first female Director General of the WWF International. Welcome Kirsten Schuijt.
