| Publication Overview Camilla de la Bédoyère's childhood passion for nature—especially for gorillas—led her to Bristol University where she studied zoology. During a spell in Kenya, spent teaching biology and chemistry and traveling, she was able to combine her interests in education and wildlife. Camilla now works as a journalist and writer, and has written books on natural history, examining life on Earth and the ethical questions posed by our relationship with its other inhabitants. She is particularly interested in encouraging young people to understand and enjoy science; she has written many educational texts for school children and regularly contributes to children's magazines and publications. |
