We’re excited to welcome a new volunteer to our team! Gabriela Guberman will be joining us as a photographer and storyteller. She will be documenting our talks – as well as covering our research expeditions to share our work with a wider audience. With a passion for everything related to the ocean, as well as a love of writing and photography, Gabriela will craft captivating stories to raise awareness about the Knysna Estuary. She is looking forward to sharing the ground-breaking research that is being done in this area with others, hopefully inspiring conservation through her work.
As an outdoor enthusiast, Gabriela spends most of her time surrounded by nature, and is often in the water. She is an avid scuba diver, and loves to sail, kitesurf and paraglide whenever the wind blows. Her adventures have taken her all over the globe, chasing untouched wilderness and discovering diverse cultures across countless countries and many continents. These travels have inspired her passion for conservation and documenting what wonderful things still exist in the ocean – despite humans’ negative impact. Gabriela believes that the will to protect our ocean stems from a love of its inhabitants – and the ecosystem as a whole.
“We protect what we love.” she states, “My goal is to inspire others, by portraying the everyday miracles of the ocean in a way that shows just how awe inspiring they really are.”
We look forward to inviting Gabriela to the Knysna Estuary Research Foundation, so stay tuned for more updates on our many upcoming projects!
