Light & Dark - Conservation through a polar lens
Marnie, with her extensive background in the travel industry, has ventured through an awe-inspiring 82 countries, each with its own tale and terrain. But what truly sets her journey apart is her profound appreciation for the natural world, especially the enigmatic, expanses that lie hidden in the polar realms.
The polar regions, with their icy majesty and unparalleled beauty, hold secrets that beckon the adventurous spirit in us. Yet, beyond their breathtaking landscapes, they whisper tales of conservation, resilience, and the delicate balance of nature. Marnie's deep love for the dark world, where stars shimmer undisturbed and nature's rhythms play out in their purest form, has led her to champion the cause of night conservation.
