Harry, Jojo and Reka speak with Claire Bensted, from JGI Australia's National Youth Leadership Council about Roots & Shoots and Dame Jane Goodall's upcoming Australian tour. Roots & Shoots is a global network of young people taking action to improve our world. It’s a youth-led action program that is currently making a difference in nearly 100 countries and Roots & Shoots builds on Dr. Jane’s legacy and vision of placing the power and responsibility for creating solutions to big challenges in the hands of young people.
Clairehas been actively involved in conservation since she was 11 years of age when she first became a Joey Ambassador for Australia Zoo. Now she volunteers for numerous organisations including Zoos Victoria through their Youth At The Zoo program, Edge Pledge, and the Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots Australia, as a member of the National Youth Leadership Council. Claire hopes to one day work in elephant reproduction, and is inspired by Dr Jane, as she was a pioneer scientist in her field.
