Published: Oct. 13, 2020, 1:21 p.m.

Gunjan Menon was so passionate about telling the story of the diminishing numbers of the red panda that she trekked 12,000 feet in Nepal. The short documentary film, The Firefox Guardian, soon caught the attention of the world and went on to win numerous awards and nominations across several countries, including a student BAFTA nomination.

She also donned many hats for a conservation series, "On the Brink', that aired on Animal Planet and Discovery Channel. Let's listen to Gunjan Menon as she talks about the impact storytelling can have on wildlife conservation.\xa0
