When Kate was 8 years old, she went on Safari in South Africa with her parents. Kate had an amazing game driver, Michelle, who taught her so much about animals. They saw and learnt about cheetahs, elephants, rhinos and so much more!
But Kate learnt something that made her sad inside. She learnt these amazing animals were threatened and humans were the ones posing the threat. Elephants and rhinos were being killed for their tusks and cheetahs were being killed for their skin. When Kate got home, she wanted to do something. She decided to write a book to empower other children to turn their love for animals and our planet into advocacy.
Kate contacted Michelle and asked if she would help. Together, they contacted a radio station and asked them to help spread the word that they needed a book publishing deal. Before they knew it, book publishers were flooding in with offers to help! Kate felt so proud and happy. Before long, Kate and Michelle had written and published ‘Let’s Go On Safari,’ which is a picture book describing Kate’s experiences on that memorable holiday. Throughout the book there are facts about the man-made dangers facing the animals that Kate saw.
The book is not-for-profit and 100% of the proceeds go to her conservation partners: The Jane Goodall Institute, The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and Re:Wild. So far, she has raised £10,976 by selling copies. Since then, Kate has founded ‘Kids Can Save Animals,’ a movement that helps young people become animal activists. Kate says, ‘I believe that advocacy has no age limit. And the truth is, it is up to my generation to fix big things. So, let’s go!’
