Too Wild

Divas That Care Network

Come and listen while Host Candace Gish interviews a variety of extraordinary women, whom are working to make the world a better place! #DivasThatCare Lauren is an accomplished naturalist, zoologist (BSc) and marine biologist (MSc) with a love for conservation and creative natural history storytelling. Lauren moved her life to the Maldives after finishing her masters degree and lived there for 8 years. She became one of the most successful marine biologists in the country specialising in manta rays and turtles. She is a certified PADI DiveMaster and Apnea Total Freediver. After a long, fulfilling career, she decided she needed a new challenge and took an opportunity to move back onto land. Moving to Africa, Lauren began presenting LIVE wildlife TV for WildEarth. Lauren completed a successful pioneering project presenting LIVE from underwater in the Cayman Islands, answering viewers questions in real time also with WildEarth TV. She was appointed a WWF Voices Ambassador, releasing two web series on Ethiopia and its endangered wolf, and on the Sharks & Rays of Maldives. She has now started her own company with her partner David, a renowned wildlife filmmaker. Together they are launching South Africa’s first immersive wildlife filmmaking course in the Timbavati Game Reserve. This course will help build the next generation of filmmakers, helping them to create their own WILD story. The course is based in the Greater Kruger National Park, where you will live in the heart of the African wild for 6 weeks of immersive training. Using industry standard camera equipment, you will build a showreel and be mentored by experienced naturalists, trackers, cinematographers, impact producers and natural history editors.
