🌊👣 Once upon a time, a young girl who really wanted to be a biologist. She always dreamed of working on Marine Conservation Projects. In addition to a huge love for Nature, she always had the curiosity to know different cultures around the world. She brought these two big dreams together and started her professional career working on Projects at the Mexican Caribbean, Galapagos Islands, Maldives Islands and of course, the brazilian coast. At each stop a new world, a different way of working, a different way of living. In Maldives, she faced an impactful reality. She experienced the problem of marine pollution.This experience had a huge influence on her future. Since then, this young girl has broadened her knowledge about the waste manegement issue, wich is so emergency for the health of our planet, for our children's future. Today Manuela is Zaion's mother, who is 8 years old, and manager of an waste management initiative in Brazil. She feels responsible for contributing to the transformation of environmentally conscious generations, even though she knows that she will face big challenges ahead.
