The Conservation Icons series aims to educate, entertain and inspire change! And this year, tickets will sell out with speakers including founder of the Unbound Project, Raabia Hawa, who works to protect Kenyan wildlife, and Joel Reynolds from the Natural Resources Defense Council, who is quite literally the Earth’s lawyer.
