She also holds a Masters of Philosophy degree in Sustainable Development. Lockhart enjoys photography, kayaking, snorkelling, creative writing, and walking in nature.

Helen served as Editor for the WAZA Carbon Guide. The guide was written by professionals in zoos and aquariums around the world and is a fantastic resource to help any organisation get started in measuring and reducing its carbon footprint.

The credibility of our messages and even the legitimacy of our existence is at stake if we don’t reduce our own emissions.
