Je m’appelle Adèle et suis actuellement étudiante en maîtrise de science politique à l’UQAM. Je suis particulièrement intéressée par la conservation animale et la protection de la Nature en général. Ce sont principalement les voyages et le travail de photographes animaliers qui m’ont amené à comprendre la nécessité d’agir pour aider notre magnifique Planète.
