Lizzie Cooke

Lizzie is currently travelling in the Americas. It was after taking part in an Earthwatch Project researching toque macaque monkeys in Sri Lanka she decided to escape from the corporate world by returning to university to gain a Masters degree in Environment, Development and Policy and work as a volunteer at the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project in Thailand, where she met Sam and Noga. Lizzie has also worked for The Gaia Foundation, Tropical Forest Trust and as a volunteer for the Isle of Wight Bat Hospital, Wight Red Squirrel Project and Wight Nature Fund. Her passion for conservation has led to an interest in organic and biodynamic farming and she is a member of WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms).
