BEFORE THE EVENT
A message from Jane Goodall who in 1960 - at the age of 26 – travelled from the UK to Africa to study chimpanzees in the wild. With little more than a notebook and binoculars, she managed to open a window into their sometimes strange and often familiar-seeming lives. Today, she inspires action on behalf of endangered species.
A message from Sir Tim Smit who dreamt up and then created the Eden Project, near St Austell, in an old china clay pit near the village of Bodelva. Its biomes contain different eco-climates and its grounds feature areas such as "Wild Cornwall". Eden aims to educate people about environmental matters and encourages a greater understanding and empathy with the natural world.

Dave Cornthwaite1. Adventure, Creativity, Curiosity 2. I literally live my passion. I have ‘Adventurer’ on my
